So if you are one of the people who follow me on twitter,
you will remember a tweet complaining about the severe lack of Ehandar in this
book. And by lack I mean none, save mention. I’m a diehard Ehandar fan. But
that isn't the point of this review. The point of this review is to discuss
what I liked about this book and what I didn't.
Pawn Storm by Andrew Ashling is book three of the Invisible
Hands quadriliogy and the longest in terms of how much is accomplished. Due to
risk of spoilers, I won’t go into detail about what happens suffice to say
things go down. A war between the two super powers of the south starts. Anaxantis
plots and schemes as if playing a game of chess. Hence the name.
What I liked about this book was the amount
characterization. There are more the six characters that get field time; Rhonoman, Lorsanthian, and of course, Ximerionian
are their nationalities and each of these characters add their own perspective
about the war. Due to the immense length of the story, it works.
However, a story this size can become confusing and from
time to time, I did get lost, but staying up until two in the morning just so I
could finish another chapter would cause such an issue as well.
Minding that, I did enjoy this book, ranking in at a four
out of five.
