Christopher accidentally fell through a portal on Earth is now on a medieval world full of goblins, witches, elves, various religious beliefs, dragons, hobgoblins and more strange creatures. The one thing they all have in common is that they want to kill him...
Pyr Science Fiction and Fantasy shared an ARC with me to review (thank you). It will be published April 10th.
With political plots and many of the characters working at cross purposes (the elves especially), there's plenty of intrigue and magic to hold your attention. Even if you're killed, magic can bring you back to life. But only if those wielding the magic can get some rest and renew.
This is a strange new world and Christopher has been introducing earthly weapons to them. They have dynamite, cannons and more so they are fairly successful at the missions the King sends them on. But Christopher keeps developing more power all the time and the King is feeling threatened. Soon his friends must choose which side they will support. It's not easy. Some he wins, some he loses.
He's trying to organize another form of government that will be more than just a dictator at the helm. Not all of them are interested in that. But he knows there is more danger than even the King coming.
The pace is fast and the story has lots of action. This was a good read. The next book should be even better.
