In author’s Brian Woods and Roy C. Booth’s second installment of the Tales of Suruale (following the first title “Davi”) we meet Cythe.
Cythe is not like all of the other people in his village—and the people there have begun to notice. The lord of Khorne has called a man from the Order of Assassins to let him take care of things, but when the man gets there, another man has already came—and has done so to take Cythe into his fold for a upcoming war where every man—no matter if they are human, dwarf, etc.—will be needed to win.

And Cythe doesn’t have a choice in the matter—he must join them, or be killed because he is an unknown and potentially dangerous element.

This was, just okay for me—two things made it ‘just okay’. One was that it was too short, not really a problem in itself but it leads into the main thing—I felt there was not really time for a lot of plot development—or even character development.

We learn about Cythe and the upcoming and prophesized war yes and that is interesting but at the came time that is about all we learn it feels much more the like the start of a book instead of the second installment.

I know plot and character development is not really essential in a short story—just that they are interesting—but I still felt that there should have been something—like in Davi.

Davi had both plot and character development, even though it was short as well, this one was just missing it—but I am holding out hope that the next one will pick back up pretty much where we left off with this one and if not with Cythe concerning the same idea—the war.

I will pick up the next installment—I am curious as to the world the authors have created and really enjoyed Davi but overall I can not say that I really enjoyed this installment.

*I received a hardcover/paperback/eBook copy/ARC of this book for free to review from the author/publisher; this in no way influenced my review, all opinions are 100% honest and my own.
