Excellent end and leaves options for further books,

phew, what a ride. The Saba Taalor pushing on so many fronts, The City of Wonders on the move, and more magic than you can poke a stick at. this feels like a satisfying ending to a first arc - there is so much more to happen and so many unanswered questions. I want to read many more novels in the series!

Thanks to the Silent Army the City of Wonders has been spared, at least for the moment. The Sa'ba Taalor and their gods still want the City destroyed and the Sa'ba Taalor are obedient more than anything else.The Silent Army was a letdown. After the first two books set the stage and the third book brought the war to fruition, I expected a truly grand finale. Instead the story simply felt stretched for little reason. It was very much more of the same with some shrouded occurrences that don't get f...

rating: 4.5A good ending...or is it? Mr. Moore says there will be another 3-4 books. I cannot wait!

*** 4 ***A buddy read with the Fantasy Aficionados at BB&B! More crazy bloodshed and gore, please!! James A. Moore’s Seven Forges series is definitely different than most anything I have ever read! As I said in my previous reviews, this feels like one book divided in volumes, and this happen to be the forth volume of this epic story. It starts exactly where we left off - the Sa'ba and their Kings looking with frustration at the departing city of Canhoon by its new form of transportation - flyi

Actual rating: 2.5 stars. Because I'm in a good mood today. Then again maybe not. We'll see how long this rating lasts. ← not very long, obviously.There is a very slight chance that I might possibly feel a teensy little bit pissed off right now. Not much, though. Just feeling a tad homicidal, that is all. Why, you ask? Because this one of the most disappointing so-called final instalments in the history of so-called final instalments. Okay, so it wasn't as bad as the Sirantha Jax Disaster of

So here I am . . . . . . NOOOOO!I heard there are going to be more books in this series and I sure hope so because there are some unanswered questions and I want to see what's going to happen. I mean I want to know if anything is going to happen with Swetch, Merros and something else! Hellloo! And I want to know what Drask has in his future. Unless he's going to be killed then we can just stop right here and that's that and we are all good! But, seriously, he's like a god now or something. Or ma...

c2016: FWFTB: Fellein, Sa'ba Taalor, faithful, soldiers, world-changing. This series has been one of my favourites and some loose ends were tied up. All the favourite characters were here and the action pours off the pages. I am not sure that the same humour that was in the first book is as evident in this one and I still felt a bit removed from the Sa'ba Taalor characters. Loved it and definitely recommend to the normal crew but it is not a stand-alone read. Life is a series of tests. No one wa...

I really liked this book. It was very exciting the whole way through. It felt a bit rushed however that didn't really affect much, my biggest complaint was the ending. It was a bit anti climactic in my opinion. I'm hoping Moore writes another one. Overall solid book, would recommend it to anyone that likes fantasy.

The final installment of a great epic story has drawn to a close and it ended with a huge bang. From the very first page down to the last, James A. Moore does not pull the punches in delivering an action-filled story that's full of savagery and pumps adrenaline page after page after page. It might be awkward to say but the savagery is well-placed, and more so when I say that The Silent Army will satisfy the inner demon in you. And no, I'm not marketing cruelty here. The series ended in peace and...

So what is The Silent Army?Um…wow.Just. Wow.Ending the series, for now, James A. Moore sweeps his literary axe through the Sword and Sorcery brand of fantasy with unforgettable brutality and originality, crowning a wildly eye-popping epic of culture and combat to rival the titans of times past. Moore’s genius lies in his swift and seamless delivery of a truly fantastic concept, one that feels immersive and magnificent, horrific and unnervingly permanent when considering the savagery of war and t...

This was a good ending to a very good series. A lot of action. A lot of bloodshed. There were a few surprises as well. I'm glad I read this series.

Hmmmm. So, where to start.Well the three stars should be an indication that this review going to have some highs and lows. So book four answered, er, one (partially) of the at least six fundamental plot development questions I had. Which I have to say, annoys me. I went from, in book three, amazed out all the things I wanted to learn in the last book, to, does Moore actually have an answer, or is he playing the 'their gods, they can do what they like' card. Because a lot of the storyline growth

I love this series, I will not lie about it. It has ALL the things that make a great fantasy read. Mr. Moore steadily ups his game with each new installment.I call this "dark" fantasy, it does have epic leanings, great characters, great action and an awesome world, that pretty much wins me everytime. I won't gush much more, but if you like the fantasies and you like sword swinging and heads flying through the air like so much dust in the wind, give James A. Moore all your money! (and sacrifice g...

Better than the first 3. Not saying much. Unless you enjoy tiresome repetition of oversize, over-skilled, brutish warriors slaying helpless people - stay away from this story. The logic of the gods in these books is not consistent. There is no grand conclusion. No finality. Obviously, the author hopes that readers will be interested the further adventures of Drask. Not me.

Absolutely brilliant! I wish I had the words to describe how much I loved this book -- the whole series is amazing and you should be reading this!It’s a terrible thing watching your bookmark move ever closer to the end. Part of you craves the conclusion while that other part of you is yelling to slow down, to prolong the read for as long as you can. But I finally closed the cover on The Silent Army, and I can say without a shadow of doubt this is one of the best fantasy series I’ve read.See full...

The fourth volume in James A. Moore’sSeven Forges series hits shelves in the US today. If you’ve been reading my blog long, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of this series. I’d like to thank Angry Robot Books for providing me the review copy.The Silent Army has a lot to live up to from the previous volumes in this series. I’m glad to say that it does. The Fellein Empire has been losing every battle in the war with the Sa’ba Taalor. Things are about to change. The question is will it be enough or w...

This book was so quick to read - I obsessed over it. I could not stop reading it. Yet, I am not sure what has happened. I am shocked and impressed by what I read. The story is just amazing. This is the main pillar, the best and impressively so pillar of this series. When you think you know where the book is going, you are left baffled by the opposite direction the book (and the whole series really) takes. Right after finishing the book - and I guess a bit because Drask is such an amazing charact...

Extremely satisfying conclusion that has just enough dangling carrots to where I'm salivating for another. Like Merros Dulver needs to be getting his own book or I'm rioting kinda shit. I love how the characters in this book are so not the ones you meet in book one and the changes are believable: physically, mentally, behaviorally, it's awesome. Highly recommended stuff!

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.My rating is 4.5 stars.James A. Moore’s Seven Forges series is a pulse-pounding, sword and sorcery extravaganza. The Saga of the Sa’ba Taalor a staggering epic, which erupts across this vast fantasy world slowly but surely, affecting numerous characters and people; the struggle a fierce conflict for the future of this place, the future of humanity. Along the way, readers will encounter superhuman warriors, fierce combat, scheming gods, heart-wrenching acts of t...
