Adult-content rating: This book contains content considered unsuitable for young readers 17 and under, and which may be offensive to some readers of all ages.
Hartman is an author who has mastered the art of graphic descriptions. You cannot help but picture what he puts on paper, in vivid detail. This includes some rather graphically violent scenes. However, it was not only the graphic scenes that were well described. Every time that Hartman put his pen to paper you get a masterfully crafted description. As a whole, this novel was quite well written. A great deal of time must have been spent on formatting and editing. Everything was immaculately laid out. There is a clarity to everything that Hartman has written. You can’t help but visualise and appreciate everything that he has put on paper.
The characters presented in this novel fell into 2 groups. The first were the warriors/Imperialists. These characters seemed to be nothing more than blood thirsty killing machines. The second group of characters, which is comprised of everyone else, were on a completely different playing field. These individuals were developed in detail. Each was a physical being with a personality and a family history.
