Anger grips. A young fool rises in the air, crushed by an invisible claw, controlled by an unknown man. And when the fool’s body falls, no one else is around to hear it. No one who will say, at least…

· At first, I was a bit intimidated by these books, but I am glad I gave these books a shot. The complexities of war and decisions made in war, especially when there seems to be a battle happening on every front. Highly enjoyable, perfectly paced, and had my heart racing at points. As with all the books that have become my favorite, I am going to have to read through more than once to pick up on things I missed.
· I just got done with Morgan Spring-Glace's second book, Unseen Wrath, and it did not disappoint. The story kicks off with a bang, dropping the reader into the middle of a dramatic underground siege and just pulls them along from there like a Yugo caught in the draft of a semi-truck. He continues to expand the world he started in the first of the series, with the same wonderful depth of details and world-building. This book introduces several new characters and races, and for me, I was surprised at how much I identified with a few in particular. Of note, Mr. Spring-Glace does something I've never seen in a fantasy novel. Instead of placing one map somewhere at the start of the story, he conveniently places the highly detailed maps where they are relevant to the storyline so the reader doesn't have to flip back to get a picture of where the action is occurring. Absolutely brilliant! The same goes with the book's numerous illustrations, which one rarely if ever sees in a work of this type and size. And, as a generous bonus to the reader who wants to know more, he includes an almost Tolkien-esque set of appendices at the end with detailed information about the peoples and lands of the world he created… Epic battles, political intrigue, blossoming magic and well written and engaging characters, this book is the kind that will distract you from things you have to get done. Caveat emptor, in the best possible way!
