With his rifle, cunning, and a little bit of runic magic, Ao will do whatever it takes to save his home. No matter who has to bleed for it.
What it is Honor for the Dead About:
Ao has always tried to do the right thing. So when Renfreya was attacked by the bloodthirsty Kings, he volunteered for the army. Now he has blood on his hands, his own comrades are hunting him, and the right thing to do isn’t so clear anymore.
Renfreya and the Kings have fought each other to a bloody stalemate on the Plain of the Ancestors, and no one knows who will emerge the victor. No one but Ao.
When an easy first mission turns into a massacre, Ao uncovers a secret that could turn the tide of the war and save his home. But with a power-hungry sergeant leading the company and a horde of killers opposing them, he might never get the chance. Not unless he creates it himself.
With his rifle, cunning, and a little bit of runic magic, Ao will do whatever it takes to save his home. No matter who has to bleed for it.
My Review of Honor for the Dead:
Ao joined the Army, although his grandfather tried to talk him out of it. He wanted to be honorable, do the right thing. And of course, with the cowardice of his grandfather still remembered, it might bring some decency back to his family name.
When things quickly go wrong, Ao knows that what they are doing is wrong. They are no longer soldiers, out for glory. They are murderers, and they are going to have to pay for what they did.
He is determined to do the right thing, even if it means deserting the Army…
When I was reading through Honor For The Dead, it was a pretty decent read. I enjoyed aspects of it, while others felt as though it bogged down a little bit. In my humble opinion, a good editor could do a lot of good for this novel, as I found several typos, and some areas where sentences didn’t read as clearly as they could. I read the majority of this novel, and while it flows, there are some areas where hiccups are visible, breaking the flow of the novel.
While this is a cut, this author has a lot of potential, and I look forward to seeing more from him!
