Can't say that I was overly thrilled with this book. Like others here have mentioned the story seems lacking. Our Heroes take part in gruesome battles which is nice, but this time around I found myself uninterested in the journey. In the last book I felt a connection with Stryke and his band. Their struggle to break free from their mistress of terror. However, this book did not have what I was looking for.

Call it peer pressure, but it seems like every time I went into a bookstore I saw these "Orcs" books or the "Dwarves" books. Finally decided to give them a try. Looks like this is the 2nd book in the series, but the author summed up what happened in the first book so I don't feel like we missed much.
We both those this was not terrible, but not great. The characters were distinctive, but not especially lovable or memorable, there was TONS of action, but it wasn't especially exciting. I realize that the author was trying to "flip the script" by making the orcs the good guys, but they acted so much like humans I often forgot that they were orcs. So I didn't feel like I was reading something that was any different than a normal fantasy novel. I would much rather have had them been more belligerent, aggressive, and feral.

This continues the epic of the Orcs. Sure it's a little standard in it's storytelling, but the strangeness of the different viewpoint really makes a difference. It's a lot of fun, and it's a good continuation to the series. I hope to see more of this author soon.

All you need to know about this series is there's a completely out of the blue scene where the villain uses a unicorn horn as a dildo while speaking to an underling.

I remember reading this back in the day. It wasn't mind-blowing, but it was a lot of fun and nice to see the poor old orcs have their day in the sun.
