I thought Battle for Peace was a great continuation of Shields in Shadow. We get more in depth looks at the silent champions and their backgrounds, a greater sense of their becoming a real, tight-knit group of people who are not only becoming friends but almost a family. The battle scenes are gripping, gritty and realistically depicted. All in all, it’s a great read and I look forward to the next book!
An amazing book. Great writing, love the characters, page turner. I really enjoyed it. Andy is the best storyteller. Excellent job. I received a copy and voluntary leaving a review.
For starters be warned Andy Paloquin has written for us not a book, but a tome and it is one of the best and most thrilling dark epic fantasy books I have ever read, in fact I ended up reading day and night unable to put this very exciting and touching book down. Aravon and his special hand picked team are battling to bring about peace to Fehl which is being attacked by the barbarians known as Eirdkilrs, who are brutal and savage and out to kill all who they come across. However it seems that there is a traitor amongst the Princelanders who is making their job more difficult than it already is. Aravon teams up with a group who were previously the enemy, in order to rid the Fehl of the Tauld’s, whose atrocities knew no bounds. This is a book about courage, loyalty and team spirit, where the main characters of our special ops team, also referred to as the Grim Reavers, are awesome and the more we get to know about their past the more we start to see their human side rather than just their military side. They all have something they are running from in their past, but it is these factors which have made them who they are, strong and resilient and there for one another. Their respect and loyalty towards their Commander Aravon is boundless, as is his towards them. The battle scenes are very detailed, and though gory and explicit they are some of the best battles scenes I have ever read, and the fact that the team fights for peace removes a bit of the senselessness of war. I love Snarl, the beautiful Enfield who brings a bit of tenderness into the story when it gets too tough to handle, even though I found myself with my heart in my mouth every time he was sent out with a message fearing he would not return. The build up of tension prior to each battle is awesome and keeps the readers thoroughly immersed in the book and routing for the heroes every time. Cannot recommend this book highly enough to all those who love dark epic fantasy full of sword and a bit of sorcery thrown in, the story is intricate but so detailed it makes for an easy read.
Overall rating: 5
Book two of this epic series left me weak and exhausted! The emotions that dripped from these pages were relentless with extreme highs and the lowest of lows. The brilliant attention to detail this author takes during heavy battles immerses you completely. The camaraderie exhibited by these characters depict the spirit of true warriors. The blood queen is the epitome of evil. Battle books have never been my go to read…until this author opened my eyes. A hearty recommend. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
Steller! This is the second book in The Silent Champions series and like the first book it had me up reading most the night and the next few days, it’s a long one. Captain Aravon is trying to win a battle for his prince and kingdom that seems to be against impossible odds. There’s not enough men to help so he enlist a rival clan and the terrane is so impossible to overcome, the enemy is everywhere. A plan too impossible to execute? The depth and personality of each character is powerful, the battles scenes intense and the story line intriguing and action packed. Did I say action packed? Wow. The author also expresses a sensitivity in his words and characters as we see Aravon and his team experience the pain they have to endure, what we now call PTSD, from their mission, their past, the ravages of war. As a Captain, Aravon knows the heart of his men and woman and is in touch with each of them on a level that only a good Captain can be. Mr Peloquins’ writing excels again in book 2 and at the finally leaves me wrung out but wanting more. Whether you are familiar with Mr. Peloquins’ works or not this epic military fantasy is a must read. I highly recommend this sequel to his new series.
I was given a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Loved this book
Absolutely Fabulous! This one kept me up way to late! Non-stop action, mystery, politics, and genuine characters that you really care about. Somehow, no matter how impossible the task, Aravon’s squad finds a way to accomplish their mission. I can’t wait to see the Grim Reavers continue to pursue the Duke’s dream. Bring on book 3!
