Belega

Dianne Hartsock drops readers right into the middle of a war in Belega (Solstice Publishing, 979-8612751908, 2020), the first book in “The Karthagans” series.

Hartsock does not let up on the action throughout the book. There are a lot of characters and the names are similar, but the two most important ones are Natan and Kavi. Hartsock has created a fearless hero in Kavi, or maybe a reckless hero (laugh).

On the other hand Natan is the Kavi's balance, as he is far more hesitant and tries to think through everything. Unfortunately for both characters, there is no time in war and there are other players on the field.

Hartsock creates a world of betrayal, fighting, and love. It will be interesting to see where this series takes us.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
