My love affair with Ryl may have started when I met him in the first book in this series, A Tribute at the Gate: Catalyst… but it just grows stronger, page by page, as Fulcrum of Light unspools it’s secrets. The first thing that happens is that Ryl and his… what, Mercenary? Bodyguard? Friend? have to find their way out of the outlands, and time is not on their side! This is a grueling trek of endurance and fighting, and it was just the thing my action loving heart thrives on! It’s only after they find succor that the pacing slows down, and we learn so much more about Ryl and his blood magic, as he begins his training for real!
Soon after that, CJ Aaron pushes the “pedal to the metal” and zooms to an awesome finale!
I know that I’ve said this before, but Travis Baldree is absodamnlutely the perfect choice to tell us Ryl’s story!!!
