The Dragoncrown War Cycle

Author: Stackpole, Michael A.
An almost painful amount of battle scenes and gore, to the point where reading yet another description about how a goblin’s head was mashed to pulp by a sword loses all impact. Lots and lots of gore and fighting – too much. But there are plenty of battle scenes and military planning. I would describe this as military epic fantasy. If you are looking for epic fantasy with a lot of blood, battles, and gore, this series is definitely worth a read. I personally much prefer the prequel novel, The Dark Glory War better than the sequel series. But it’s not as epic in scope. Also check out his other book, Talon: Revenent which is some pretty good heroic fantasy.
