Stone Speaks to Stone
Stone Speaks to Stone | Victoria Goddard
1 post | 1 read
"Major Jakory Greenwing, Jack to almost everyone, is a lover of poetry, an admirer of sculpture, and one of the finest soldiers of his day. He was sent on a scouting mission over the border between the Empire of Astandalas and the land of the Stone Speakers. On his return he discovers that the fortress his company was holding has been betrayed. He is just in time to see the command staff led off in chains. He follows them far into the uncharted territories where Astandalan magic is ineffective and the Stone Speakers' far too much so. To rescue his commanders will take all the courage and skill he has. To return home afterwards requires more than he ever dreamed he possessed."--Page 4 of cover.

Mehso-so

POV: a soldier of a conquering empire tries to rescue his commander from the enemy‘s hands.

Not as fun as the other two Goddard‘s stories I‘ve just read. It would‘ve benefitted from a closer encounter with an editor. It also ends abruptly, and the writing style feels different, not as fairytale-ish. Well, at least the worldbuilding is still good. This #fantasy world is promising, though, and I will continue.
