My third time around with the fifth book in the Metaframe War series (The Crane War) made me want to go grab some swords and guns as I wanted to jump in the fray alongside the characters to kick some vampire ass as the war has escalated to a whole new level of action!
There is continuous action basically non-stop throughout most of the book and lots of different things happening within the story that slowly starts bringing things together.
The war has arrived from the King of the Vampire Dominion, Cornelius Crane as he has gathered an army of vampires along with his General, Chloe Armitage to go up against the forces of the Mirovar Force Team.
Tons of strategic planning on both sides and weapons being locked and loaded/swords and katanas sharpened for an epic battle that we have not seen since the books began.
The Mirovar Force Team members (Francis, Anton, Jay, Peter, Li, and Chiara) along with Arthur (Anton’s grandfather) really mesh together in this book as though emotions are running high among them they all have made it this far together as a team. Team spirit is up and they are ready to fight for their survival against the vampires.
The Blake Force team members (Justin, Samuel, Taylor, Patrick, Tim, Max, and Red) make a full appearance in this book as they are there to assist in the fight with the vampires.
Vampire Dominion members – main characters (Cornelius Crane – Vampire King and Chloe Armitage – General) along with (Clayton Maze – General) and the vampire army are wanting to wipe out the Mirovar Force Team and Blake Force Team once and for all wanting to leave none alive.
What does the war do to all those involved? Who lives and who dies within this war? Who wins and who loses in the scheme of things? No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book!
Once again as in previous books there are guns blazing a trail of fire throughout the whole book along with sword fighting that literally plays out before your eyes as you can see the true masters of the sword as they slice and dice their way through the fighting and explosions that will send bodies flying through the air.
When you have a war there are going to be casualties, blood, gore, etc. which brings the pages alive and slams the reader into a bloody battle of life and death!
The Crane War has ramped up and has kicked into high gear! Grab your snacks plus your soda along with your swords and guns and get ready to be swept away into the Metaframe War as this book will ROCK YOU TO THE CORE!
The speed of the pages turning in the last half of the book was like a bullet train speeding down the track as when the action becomes a non-stop force there is no slowing down and there is not much sleep as the action on the pages comes alive with bullets whizzing and swords slashing behind your eyes!
The author, Graeme Rodaughan has created a world of vampires and vampire hunters raging a war that takes all the books in this series to high levels of action, intrigue, suspense, and tension with little to no sleep while reading the books (trust me on this – this is “fact”) and there are two more books yet to go in this series. Looking forward to the last two books as I want to see how everything will be wrapped up and who ends up winning this war.
Highly recommend to action adventure/urban fantasy fans!
