And Peace Shall Sleep

This book started off strong, with engines of pure chaos taking center stage immediately. However, the romance was forced and ill matched, poorly serving the plot. Things go off the rails when the main character (not really a hero, is he?) is literally ripped out of a scene and transported across the world to make more chaos happen elsewhere. Though the individual chapters were mostly fun from there on out, they barely strung together into a story if you squinted. Dwarven love magic destroys all pretense of a plot, essentially.

Fantasy based on the card game. The story follows Reod Dai and his attempts to make the world a better place for his people. He falls in love with a dwarf and seems to ruin everyone's life around him. It's not a bad book book.
