I just thought I’d drop the link here for those of you interested in the latest Winged Hussar novel. This one focuses on dwarfs and has a lot of world building in it.
It just released this past week in ebook version and physical copies are shipping soon!
Oh yeah it is just purely personal preference, I wasn’t going to bad mouth e-books in any way.
I had to wait longer for every book, I’m just a bit more impatient with this one since it is about my favorite race, will flesh them out more and deal with the uneasy relationship between Free and Imperial Dwarves.
Also I did like how you handled factions in Drowned Secrets, showing the ‘good’ or ‘neutral’ ones being willing to do some terrible things for their believes or goals but at the same time still showing that there are still actually decent people there.
As always, please leave a review on Amazon if you enjoyed the book, it helps get more eyes on the novels and pushes the algorithm for Amazon to promote the book more…
I enjoyed the book. First one i have bought and tried.
Good twists.
Personally wondered how the Free dwarves were doing freeing Halpi. Not too well it seems.
I did wonder early reading it if imperials should have fire elementals rather than earth due to being more likely to follow Fulgria.
Think there is a second book, it would be good see to where it ends.
Feels like the most important dwarf going forward is the one that spoke last.
Thanks for the response, i wondered how it would work.
I would recommend it to anyone reading this who hasnt made up their mind.
Meanwhile im going to start some of the other books while waiting for the second book.
Another book comes out soon for dwarves shortly- Honor’s Price by Mike Rossi.
Podcast on counter charge with Mike talking about book writing, his story, intereactions with mantic and Ben.
Nice listen as we wait for the new books by both Mike and Ben.
I always come into game or IP-based fiction with low expectations, but this was a really good novel that stood on its own merits. Definitely recommend! I reviewed on Goodreads and Storyworth as well.
It was good episode.
Mike’s interest in historical warfare and his efforts to apply that knowledge, as well as his coming to terms with editor feedback are good signs.
I should get commission. Counter charge podcast with Ben about the book.
Interesting mix of how others saw the book and their reads on the characters, dwarf cultures.
Ben with a bit of his writing style and then
Spoiler sections about what happens in the book.
Writing Well on the way on book two.
One thing you said Ben (you may read this) you felt that the imps you hadnt brought out as a good faction enough, i personally just felt a sense of with G being hidden away so much that most think like the Ffionen clan its weird a sense of not quite being right. Thats why i felt the hiding imperial was the most important character going forward.
Look forward to how you play the story out.
