A Reign of Steel

I'd nearly given up on this series given the writing style and story that seems stretched over far too many volumes. However I wanted to finish this book just to have it completed. now I'm glad I did as the story took a huge turn and is now suddenly interesting again! Yes, this means I'll be moving on to volume 12. 17 total volumes in the series so I may make it to the end yet!

I'm still hopeful to never read the word shriek again. Hope also looks to encounter no more alliterations of amazement at things that are bigger, better, worse, more terrifying, louder, thunderous, etc. than anything a character has ever seen, heard or experienced before in their life. That turn of phrase is getting a little tired.
