Wednesday is Reading Roundup Day! Welcome to my blog, fellow readers. I am still struggling to find my reading mojo, due to illness and stress. So, I am sticking with the series that I wrote about last week: R K Lander’s The Silvan. I have finished the second book in time to write this post and am also half way through the next book.

Here is the blurb…

“A light in the forest, a king returned, a past to claim.

Fel’annár is an immortal half-blood warrior from the Deep Forest, an orphan whose questions were never answered. With a dream of becoming a Silvan captain in an army ruled by the Alpine elves, he is sent to protect a prince of the realm on a journey to Tar’eastór, land of the mighty Alpine elves and of Fel’annár’s own father – whoever he was.

His nascent powers continue to evolve while his shrouded past finally surfaces. The truth he never thought to hear will thrust him onto a path strewn with political intrigue, discrimination, self-discovery – and danger.

Meanwhile, a failing king will rise from the depths and reclaim his place as leader of the Great Forest. Warriors will battle the enemy on the borders, while at court, councillors will clash over the racial divide that is tearing them apart.

They say that civil war is coming, but one elf can avoid it – if he can embrace his past, control his powers and accept the role he is destined to play. From warrior to master and beyond, Fel’annár is The Silvan who can restore peace in the Great Forest, or cast it into eternal chaos.”

And this was my response on Goodreads…

Road of a Warrior by R.K. Lander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another enjoyable episode in this fantasy series. The characters continued to develop with new challenges awaiting them. The plot moved forward at a fast pace, keeping the reader’s interest. I just wish there were more female characters, although I can see that this might be improved in later books. I hope so. After all, can any society survive without its female members? Even fantastical elvish societies? I don’t think so!

I am not sure how long I will stay with this series. There appear to be six books in this one, plus  more sets of spinoffs. I may decide to take a break, but this level of reading seems to be working for me at the moment: not too taxing or too dark. So I will probably keep going until I become bored or the writing goes adrift as happened with the Green Rider series!

Happy Reading!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
