Monica Cellio has posted a review of Spells of War.
Spells of War tells an interesting story with characters I cared about. In both books, the author made me care about, and understand the inner struggles of, people who are on the “other side” — the inquisitor in the first book and Petros and his peers in the second. Spells of War shows the devastation that war causes on all involved.
As she notes, Monica was a beta reader and got a free copy in return for her useful advice. There was no quid pro quo beyond that.
