Scourge Of The Five Kingdoms #bookreview!!

 

Publisher's Summary: For all of recorded history, the sentient races of Cordizal clashed in war and strife. Details changed from time to time, but the broad strokes remained the same - peoples, societies, and governments rising then falling, then rising only to fall again. Year after year, the patterns held until the five most powerful kingdoms on the continent, burnished and tempered by their past, set aside their differences and united into the Five Kingdoms. Presently, this! young coalition of sovereign nations faces its first enemy together and is embroiled in a decade-long war against an enemy without stated demands or obvious goals - an enemy whose only purpose seems to be to spread chaos and destruction as far and wide as possible. In the capital of the Five Kingdoms, the Consul of the Five attempts to come to terms with a war they could very well lose. Unfortunately, old habits are hard to break, and bickering and posturing hinder effective governing at every step. On the outskirts of the Arza, a disgraced. self-entitled Arzan noble is sent to a man with a questionable background to finish his tutelage while his father attempts to clear their family name. Meanwhile, in Rame, a Maximus aligns himself with the foulest individuals the Five Kingdoms has to offer. hoping to restore Rame to its former glory and claim his birthright. On the frontlines of war, the supreme commander of the Five Kingdoms' combined military does everything within his power to keep their tireless enemy at bay. The winds of change are once again blowing their way through Cordizal. The question is. can the people of the Five Kingdoms somehow come together and weather the storm, or will a new force emerge to change the very face of the continent?

Okay guys, it's review time, and I am so so excited.

When our author, Charles K. Jordan reached out to me (well, I actually reached out to the world first) and asked me if I would be interested in reviewing his fantasy novel, I was so excited, my first book review! Then, when the excitement died down, I started to get a bit worried, what if I didn't like it? What do I do? I'm a bit new to reviewing. We had a nice chat, I read the plot summary, and I was interested, so I started to read it and I can say that I was not disappointed. It starts a bit slow paced but I started to get into the action

Scourge Of The Five Kingdoms is an epic fantasy novel. First in the Five Kingdom of Cordizal book series. The author gave us a really entertaining world. I think it has everything a Fantasy Novel should have. It's got magic (of course) mad politics, the rise and fall of empires, characters that actually experienced growth and character development, mysterious evil forces at hand, a really interesting and cool world. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series

So, if you are a huge fantasy lover, or a book lover generally, or you're looking for a nice read, I really recommend Scourge Of The Five Kingdoms. If you love books with politics and warfare, then you'd probably like this. That was one thing I liked about it, the politics. 

I hope you liked today's post. Please note that this is my opinion and have a great week ahead!
