Book Review: War Maid’s Choice by David Weber

[othercat]

War Maid’s Choice takes place a few years after the events of Wind Rider’s Oath. It is slightly better than Wind Rider’s Oath, but that is not saying very much. We open with an introduction of the Dark Gods as characters instead of as offstage menaces. (It is the kind of “villain discussion” that is actually better suited to a science fiction setting instead of a fantasy one. De-mystified gods are generally boring gods.) The Dark Gods are apparently not very happy with the way their stooges keep failing to take over Norfressa, so they dispatch Carnadosa and her brother Krashnark to make yet another attempt at invading.

 

From there, we catch up with what Bahzell and his various friends and allies have been doing for the past few years.
