This is the first installment of an ongoing series. New dangers begin to arise that threaten not only Rezkin and his friends, but possibly everyone in Ashai. Kel Kade’s storytelling ability has exceeded all of my expectations, which I must admit were not that high before beginning the series. With no understanding of his life’s purpose and armed with masterful weapons mysteriously bestowed upon him by a dead king, Rezkin must travel across Ashai to find the one man who may hold the clues to his very existence.ĭetermined to adhere to his last orders, Rezkin extends his protection to an unlikely assortment of individuals he meets along the way, often leading to humorous and poignant incidents.Īs if pursuing an elite warrior across a kingdom, figuring out who he is and why everyone he knows is dead, and attempting to find these so-called friends and protect them is not enough, strange things are happening in the kingdom. Kel kade exceeds expectations when he carries on with the second part of kings dark tidings. Reign of Madness was a superb sequel to Free the Darkness and I’m still riding the emotional high off the ending, so this review might be a little more of a fan-fest than usual. Raised and trained in seclusion at a secret fortress on the edge of the northern wilds of the Kingdom of Ashai, a young warrior called Rezkin is unexpectedly thrust into the outworld when a terrible battle destroys all that he knows.

Not taking well to criticism, she traveled to Italy and France (alone, when her then-girlfriend decided to attend college instead) and hung out with other artistic exiles. The inspiration for what would later become the fictional Harriet's obsession may have begun when Fitzhugh interned at the local newspaper, filing old articles, including reports of her own family, specifically her estranged mother (a later reunion would prove to be unsettling).Īfter studies at Bard College, Fitzhugh's eventual trek north to New York City led her to the West Village's bohemian artist circles, where she befriended authors Maurice Sendak and Loraine Hansberry.Īfter a few illustrated children's book projects, including Suzuki Beane, an illustrated children's book that took on Beatnik life, and the anti-war-themed Bang, Bang You're Dead (with Sandra Scoppettone), Fitzhugh struggled with a few play scripts, one of which, to one agent, too closely resembled her dread-filled Southern family life.įitzhugh was also an accomplished visual artist who had dreams of prominent gallery exhibitions, which didn't work out.

The only ting I liked was the historical part set in Ireland and that is what made me give it 3 star, and I usually don't like the "flashback" parts. The plot was all over the place and was just full of bad ideas that people in real life never would have done. The book ended were it should have started and made me dislike all the sisters even more after six books of trying to like them.
