The Orc King by R.A. Salvatore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Orc King is a classic fantasy novel about the search for peace amid the struggle for power.
The Cover: I love this cover. The artwork is great and screams fantasy, but if it wasn’t clear enough the title cements it in the genre. The font also works with this title.
The good stuff: The characters are well rounded and interesting. I aslo liked the magical weapons, the creatures, and the locations. The story is set in a well established world and has all the elements of a good fantasy novel.
The Bad Stuff: There are some over technical explanations within the fight scenes that detract from the story. Some long and clunky sentences.
In my opinion, this is a great fantasy novel with Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, magic and magical weapons. What more could you ask for? This one gets 4 out of 5 golden bookmarks from me.
