- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm being pretty generous in giving each book of this series 3 stars for the mere fact that I really enjoyed the story. That being said, it needs quite a bit more work in editing and revising. The point of view switches from one character to another often in a way that creates confusion. It feels like a first draft, yet with work it has a lot of potential. It also feels like it would be better as a single book instead of a series. There are multiple points that feel redundant adding to the already occuring redundancy when the author tries to fill the reader in on things that happened in the previous books. I would have also expected a bit more emotion when certain characters have passed away. One circumstance in particular was frustrating, because it was as if the character was simply left behind and forgotten about after seeing such a strong connection between that character and others.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Battle Of Verril is the last book in the Book Of Deacon series, and only available on the Kindle or NOOK. It follows the story of Myranda and her fellow Chosen in their race against time to save the North. Although still worth buying and reading, I didn't enjoy this final installation quite as much as the first two. The quality of the writing and overall flow of the story seemed missing in some places, making for confusing descriptions of some of the action scenes. Also, while I understand that the pace of the story is supposed to pick up in the final book, The Battle Of Verril seemed almost completely comprised of action scenes, without a lot of time in-between. This kept my attention, certainly, but it was also a little disappointing to not have as much dialogue between the characters. Speaking of characters, I don't want to spoil too much, but I was disappointed at the fate of the elf, Desmeres, who I found such an interesting character in the second book. I'm pretty happy with the way the other main characters ended up, however. The ending was satisfying and as far as I can remember (It's been about two months since I read it), there were no unanswered questions, but it was certainly left open for more stories in the same world.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It's in this third novel that the author's weakness for writing battle scenes is most evident. He should try R.A. Salvatore to see how it's done well. However it does move on to a satisfying conclusion.
