Work detailsWarleader - A Blood and Tears Short Story by Joshua P. Simon
None. Warleader is a great short tale of two brothers struggling for power. Realistic and honest, the story is gripping from the start. The writing is strong and smooth, the descriptions and action masterful. I thought the ending was a little abrupt and would have wished for a more definite resolution, but otherwise I can hardly find any fault with Warleader and I definitely recommend it for its depth of feeling, its characterization, action sequences and realistic descriptions. (  ) Chrystalla_Thoma | Dec 9, 2011 |  I started reading Warleader last night in bed and could not stop until I had finished. This is a book that the characters are well thought out and well written. This is a short story as a prelude to a series and I don't usually read series but for this I would make the exception. I won this in a giveaway on Librarything for an honest review and that is what you got. (  ) druidgirl | Nov 29, 2011 | For such a short story (and it is very short), Warleader packs one hell of a punch. The characters are well drawn as is the world building. This world, however, is very dark and gritty, definitely not for the squeamish. This is fantasy in the tradition of Glen Cook and Steven Erikson - more cruel and wanton violence, less magic. Fortunately, at least for me, that is my favourite type of fantasy. My one quibble with this story - it is less prequel than prologue. It is really just a small taste of the author's soon-to-be released epic fantasy series. I have to admit, though, after whetting my appetite with this small appetizer, I am hungry for more. ( ) lostinalibrary | Nov 29, 2011 | A neat story that is absolutely worth it's price! Tobin is a strong and interesting protagonist and even Kaz makes a good villain (he shows signs that he may not be as bad as he acts though he is pretty terrible). The lifestyle of a Kitzo is similar to warrior clans but given a slight twist to make it the author's own. The only issue I see is that we are not told much about the Kitzo world. It's a learn-as-you-go kind of deal. As a heads up, I would not recommend this book to younger readers. As a book about brutal warriors, there are some gruesome scenes. Other than that, this short story is a delight to read. I do recommend readers to be prepared because they will definitely want to read the trilogy after this story is done! Won in a giveaway in return for an honest review (  ) Tavaresden | Nov 23, 2011 | I just finished reading this short story by Joshua P. Simon.He is a writer I found on librarything that was kind enough to gift me a free copy of this book. That being said ..I enjoyed the story alot.This Book is what it says a short story.I hate spoilers so I am trying really hard not to give any in my review.I liked the main character after the first few pages and really felt for Tobin and his struggles.The book has Tobin torn with many feelings about his family and doing his best so he will be the warleader.If Tobin wins in his quest it will be better for his people and others thats for sure.But my fellow readers I am not going to tell you if he does you need to read it for yourself and I would suggest that you do.One more note I would like to make dont worry about it being a short story this is part of a series so be ready to want more.I would read the rest in this series.
