Dagger-Star the much-awaited new series by Elizabeth Vaughan, after the super successful "War" series. While this story
takes place in the same world as the Warlands trilogy, it is far removed geographically and tonally. Ms Vaughn is also very
astute in developing real characters that you will laugh and cry with. This is a rousing fantasy tale. The action heats up
quickly and does not let up. The author builds some strong and interesting characters with some very powerful female leads
and there is a gentle vein of humour that runs through the book. This book is a good fit for fans of both fantasy and romance.
There are a number of twists and turns in this first story that I didn't see coming. While this story will not go on my keeper
shelf there was just some spark missing for me and I am not sure what it was, it was a solid offering. I will continue to look
for the next offering by Ms. Vaughan.
White Star Book Two in the series.
