Martyr's Fire by Sigmund BrouwerMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
The book Martyr's Fire, is an adventure type book set in the time of knights. Main characters include Thomas, the Lord of Magnus who finds he is an immortal, Katherine, who is an immortal seeking to help him recover Magnus and the secrets of the Immortals, and Isabelle, a druid who wants to destroy them both and regain control of Magnus for her father who was "demoted" after Thomas took the fortress of Magnus from him. This book took me a while to get into; it was hard to tell who were the "good characters" for a while. The ending of books like this drives me CRAZY. If you aren't looking for a new series to read, than don't bother. There is no conclusion whatsoever, except that Thomas begins to slightly trust Katherine. If I'd have known it was this kind of teaser story, I wouldn't have bothered. I much prefer books that actually give you a bit of satisfaction at the end, even if they have a teaser towards the next in the series to a book that's sole purpose is to get you to buy the next one. I really can't rate this book very highly for that reason. This book is actually the third in the series, which I did not realize when I began reading it. That may have something to do with my confusion at the beginning, though it still does excuse the lack of a complete storyline within this book. I actually find it astonishing that the third book in a series could feel so incomplete.
I recieved a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
