DESCRIPTION:
The culprit could be any of the usual suspects: drug-dealing orcs, mind-controlling elves, uncooperative mages, or humans being typical humans.It's up to two reluctant partners - Rem, a hungover miscreant who joins the Watch to pay off his bail, and Torval, a maul-wielding dwarf who's highly unimpressed with the untrained and weaponless Rem - to uncover the truth and catch the murderer loose in their fair city.. A watchman of the Yenara City guard has gone missing
James said I liked It!. So the author certainly didn't reinvent the wheel with this book, but he did write a very entertaining story. Elves, Orcs, Humans all live in the same story and more or less tolerate each other and even cooperate from time to time. Each race acts like you expect they should and its up to two lawmen to navigate the seedy underbelly of the world, to solve a murder mystery, and mete out justice. It's all very entertaining, the author did a good job describing the city (making it feel real), and I will certainly buy the next one.. 6 star rating! Fantastic book! eric naas Fantastic book. Great characters that you root for. Especially Torval and Rem, the watchwardens that are trying to maintain peace throughout the city and at the same time trying to solve a murder of a former Partner in crime. Throw in several subplots, like Rem falling in love and a missing daughter of a powerful and rich citizen. This Beautiful living world is mixed with orcs and dwarves and elves and humans. This magical, yet believable city of yenara explores the regular day to day honest living street vendors setting up their markets, to offering a night life pleasures - the vices of gambling and ring. A good tale that is well told. The characters are likable, the plot entertaining and there is plenty of action. I look forward to the next book in the series.
