Clash of Faiths The Paladins Book 2 eBook David Dalglish

I got the first book of this series for free. Then I had to know what happened to the characters so I bought the second book. It was amazing.

The only concern I had was that nothing was mentioned about what happened to the wolfman king. I really wanted to know if he was going to be ripped apart or if he would be able to talk his way out of it. It also seemed to me that he is the kind to try, try again so I thought for sure he would be just biding his time waiting for a chance to strike again or maybe he was killed and his pups vowed revenge on the humans, but other than the stories the people told about the attack and about how the paladins defeated them, there was NO mention. That was a little disappointing.

Everything else was spot on. Both paladins continue their journey of self discovery. One firm in his faith, the other lost and trying to cling on to what is familiar. The two meet up again, but it doesn't go as one might think it would.

The characters in this story are major draws for me and I hope book three is as interesting as one and two were. I'm really getting into this writer! I can't believe he majored in MATH!! lol

Clash of Faiths The Paladins Book 2 eBook David Dalglish Reviews

I really should have continued this series sooner. I picked up the first book when it came out but got caught up with other books whilst in college. Holy warriors are by far my favorite characters in the fantasy genre. Played a priest in DND and was tempted to make a paladin. This is a great book with plenty to offer. Will be buying the next book tonight.
I read a lot of fantasy books and because of it, I'm a hard critic. I enjoyed this series. It's written pretty well, funny, the characters are well developed and the magics are good. They move along fairly quickly and keep you interested. They aren't your typical fantasy stories and the characters aren't the perfect storybook heroes, but they are likeable and you get attached to finding out what happens to them next. I will continue to add to the series as new books are released, but I don't know if it will be a series that I read over and over like some others that I have in my collection.
Let me start with saying one thing - I didn't like the first installment in The Paladins series, yet this book feels nothing like the first one.

The characters have gained a whole new dimension. I'v never read any of half-orc series so Jerico, Darius and others are new for me and I felt that the first book never introduced them properly. However, I felt connected with main characters while reading this one. Even though I didn't really like how Jerico is depicted as flawless champion of light, I loved Darius and his "dark side" if you will. I learned quite a lot about both Jerico and Darius and that is exacly what I needed to care about them.

The plot and pacing is great up until the pages before the final battle. It would have been flawless but I felt like before the main battle, nothing had really happened and for me, it would be better if the book was shorter for about like 20 pages than 20 pages longer with basically nothing important. That is however just me being grumpy as I must say that this book was really hard to put down for me and I'v finished it with single breath (ok, you can call me a liar, I needed to sleep in the middle of reading -) ). Except the part I mentioned before, there aren't really any boring gaps.

About settings... Well, the book is taking place again in relatively small area yet thanks to Darius, we are able to visit exciting places - for example the dungeon where I felt the depressing and gloomy mood reaching out to me. Also, very interesting was the underground passage that Jerico had to go through. Shame that reader didn't stay longer in places like these. So, for me, there are some memorable places but I can't say that I'm fully satisfied with it. Yet again, that may be just me being grumpy and too demanding.

Last but not least, theme of the book... I don't really like the fight of "good and evil" and while reading, I felt like the Jerico is too much flawless and Darius with his religion too much wrong. I would appreciate if the Karak's religon would be just a little more rational and the Ashhur's religion just a little more "perverted". I like when there is sence of reality in books and seeing world today, nothing is really good or wrong, black or white. Seeing and realizing this, it suddenly felt that I'm reading a child story... This however didn't bring down dark atmosphere that I greatly enjoyed, it just wasn't flawless.

I'm little on edge with rating this book... It feels either like really strong 3,5 stars (which I can't give anyway and I refuse to give this book only three stars) or a little weaker four-star book. The itself persuaded me to give 4 stars because 3 stars means "it was ok" while 4 stars means "I liked it" and I did like it a lot. I enjoyed reading it and even though it has some flaws, I would gladly recommend this book to any fan of fantasy. Shame the first book wasn't just a little better - I'm wondering about how many people, that would enjoy this book, have been annoyed by first book and never got to read this one...

.Spoilers.

The one thing I really didn't like was the end. First of all, it seems a little strange that Ashhur would accept basically enemy paladin whose friends destroyed Ashhur's order on earth. Secondly, if so, it seems unlikely that he accepted him so quickly. Then it seemed really odd that the propet of Karak didn't see what happend because during the book itself, it was emphasized how he saw through Darius and his actions. Also, I hate how the Karak's prophet was depicted as nearly immortal being yet he is slow enough that Darius can take him with one blow. Element of surprise could work on another paladin, or priest of Karak maybe, but on his prophet? I'm sorry, but I didn't enjoy the end. That's why I hesitated with four stars and I still think this book deserves more of 3.5 stars. With different ending, I wouldn't hesitate to give even 4.5 stars... Maybe next time...
Let me start by saying that I'm not really an epic/sword and sorcery fantasy junkie. I started 2012 with the goal of reading as many different genres as I could and hadn't read anything like The Paladins yet, so I gave it a try. I am SO glad I did because I would have missed out BIG TIME.

It is rare that I will buy the next in a series directly after finishing a book, but after finishing Clash of Faiths, I immediately downloaded the next one. I find the conflicts, the morality issues, the friendships...all of it...it's all fascinating to me. I can't say it strongly enough how amazing the story of two unlikely friends is told in this series. Easily one of my top ten favorites.
