The Battlemage

I loved the part of the story where it takes place in ether. The rest of the Story little dragged but I liked the ending. And I loved Zaratan & Griphowl. Ofcourse salamander is still my favourite!

The first half of this book, as the team struggles through the ether was great. Plenty of tension, character development and mystery. The amount of demon names threw me though, and I can honestly tell you it was confusing trying to keep them all straight. This book, like its predecessors could have benefited from a healthy dose of editing as it progressed into the second half. I'm not one for politics in my books, and this series has loads of it. The second half of the book mainly deals with the common theme of racism and the political battle waged between rulers. I am much more an action seeking reader. Give me battles, twist and turns, heart wrenching scenes. Not politics.
