Historia
The Kingdom of Alanya is home to mystic warriors and mischievous djinns, vulgar poets and vain philosophers, soaring simurghs and scheming shahs. Little do the people know that a power struggle between an ancient sorceress and an upstart sultana threatens to bathe the sands in bile and bones. A bloody cauldron boils, and primeval gods laugh while they stir it. As warhorses charge, arrows shower, and cannon shots brighten the night, all must choose a side.

A poor follow up
Revisado: 06-06-23
I’m conflicted, I absolutely loved the first book and all the characters especially the pacing of the story with the drip feed of world building was nothing like this sequel. This follow up feels like it’s constantly starting and stopping with the world building more like a waterfall in some sections. I like new protagonists but these two aren’t nearly as charming as the past trio. The book could have been 25% shorter and it would have helped. The performer does not do well with women’s voices. Overall a regrettable experience that I hope does not continue into the third book.

Historia
Fifty thousand gun-toting paladins march behind him, all baptized in angel blood, thirsty to burn unbelievers. Only the janissaries can stand against them. Their living legend, Kevah, once beheaded a magus amid a hail of ice daggers. But ever since his wife disappeared, he spends his days in a haze of hashish and poetry. To save the kingdom, Kevah must conquer his grief and become the legend he once was. But Micah writes his own legend in blood, and his righteous conquest will stop at nothing. When the gods choose sides, a legend will be etched upon the stars.

Gunmetal Greatness
Revisado: 11-21-22
Right off the bat the world building and character writing were excellent. I felt how they felt, and the rights and wrongs of these characters made things murky and hard to navigate and made me very invested in their stories. I enjoy books that aren’t predictable and this is one of them. A great entry into a series that is solid enough on its own, I can’t wait to continue.

An engaging tale of relationships
Revisado: 10-05-22
I must say this was not what I expected going into this book. I had my preconceptions on the Vikings and their culture, I was hoping for an action packed adventure of a young boy becoming a man but what I got was a story of relationships, family, love, politics and kings. Yes there were war and battles but I stayed for the play like drama and the unexpected turns that came about. This is a very good foundation for an epic tale and I’m excited to see where this ends! I recommend this for anyone wanting to sink their teeth into a culture, and time to really pay attention to the details.

Maximus a great historical fiction

performance was stellar, and the writing flowed very well from the fictitious portions to the biblical historical stories. The references to events were pleasing, and I will undoubtedly recommend

Historia
Here is the complete and unabridged tale of Ichabod Crane and his ill-fated visit to Sleepy Hollow. Half of the charm of the tale is Irving's beautiful prose, as he describes the glorious New England countryside. But of course there are chills galore when the Headless Horseman appears.

Sleepy hollow not what you'd expect
Revisado: 07-26-21
Short and sweet with a great performance, the over all presentation of the story was lacking and focused heavily on foods, but the conclusion was worth it.
