ARC Review : Avenger Book 2 in the Sanctuary Series

Avenger  is an aptly name for such a compelling piece of art.  This book has fantastical written all over it.

Mr. Robert J. Crane is a superb writer of the fantasy genre, but I also think he could write in many other genres including comedy and mystery, because he is able to bring all of those themes to us in this series.

In the second book of the series, Sanctuary,  Avenger takes place after our hero, Cyrus, has lost a dear friend.  He is still upset by this and begins having nightmares because he hasn't avenged his friend.

Most of the characters from the first book are back; our beloved elves, the dark elves that entice us in many ways, and even  some of the characters that got on our nerves too.

But this is what makes this book so good.  I absolutely love how each book starts out with a Prologue, where our hero, Cyrus , remembers back to certain times.  It is almost sad because I sit and wonder what has happened for him to be in the deserted halls?  I guess I will just have to continue in this series to find out...

Book Review: The Sanctuary Series: Defender Book One

Let me just tell you I loved this book! I cannot wait till the next one! The hero, Cyrus, is someone you can't help falling in love with. I have always been a fan of fantasy novels and this book rates way up there with "Lord of the Rings" and others. Some books have been known to start out kinda slow with all the descriptions of setting up the world and whatnot, but this book just starts up with the action. There is also mystery in this book as well as some romance too.
This book has so many elements to it as well as comedy too. It combines all the essence of a good fantasy novel: elves, dragons, trolls, wizards, and even dark elves. It also teaches you to not judge someone just by what they are Dark elves can be honorable and humans can be treacherous. And everything isn't just black and white, there is a lot of grey areas too.

I really didn't find anything in this book that I didn't like. I am so excited for the next in the series I can barely contain myself and please give this book a chance because it is really going to be one of the best of our time. Great author and great novel!!!
