Brimstone Angels: Lesser Evils
Brimstone Angels: Lesser Evils: A Forgotten Realms Novel | Erin M. Evans
5 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Well, I'm now behind on my own writing, because I couldn't tear myself away from Lesser Evils. Then again, I'm only behind by a single day--because I really couldn't tear myself away from Lesser Evils. If the next one's not out until tomorrow, it's still too far off. And if Evans is not already a name spoken of as part of the true Forgotten Realms pantheon, along with Kemp, Cunningham, and Salvatore, it can only be because she has fewer books out, and thus hasn't reached everyone yet. Ari Marmell, author of Agents of Artifice, The Conqueror's Shadow, and the Widdershins Adventure series Lesser Evils is incredibly immersive and technically brilliant. I love the complex characters and layered plot, and the dialogue is sharp, natural, and brimming with personality. Its one of those books where you forget about the fact that you're reading a book, and just experience the story as though you were there. Erin M. Evans has a rare talent. She's one to follow for sure.Susan J. Morris, author of Writers Dont Cry column on Omnivoracious, an Amazon.com books blog Lesser Evils will leave you begging for more from Erin M. Evans.

Jackson, award-winning author of Scimitar Moon Overview: Mere weeks after escaping Neverwinter, Faridehs dreams are still haunted by Lorcan, the cambion devil whose power fuels her own.

Determined to protect her sister, Farideh searches for a ritual that could call Lorcan out of the Hells. But in the midst of her hunt, shes drawn into an assignment for the secret society the Harpers, an assignment which leads her and a ragtag group of allies to an ancient Netherese library deep underground.

2/52

I really enjoyed this book and the problems I had with the first were mostly absent. I did feel lost once or twice, but the plot was much tighter. The pacing improved as well. The development of the characters is really one of the highlights of the books - every character feels so fleshed out to me.

I wholeheartedly recommend this series to fantasy fans. On to book three! ✊

A major character in this book has the catch-phrase, 'Shit and ashes!' and I really would love for this to be a swear in the real world. Can we make shit and ashes happen?

Also, this character is a half-devil so there''s some part of me that can't help but hum 'half-devil Lorcan' in my head to the sound of Half-Demon Inuyasha.

blithebuoyant We can ABSOLUTELY start saying “shit and ashes.” We will make this a thing. 6y

Snowy day here near Glasgow; perfect for cuddling up with a blanket and book. My kitten Morgana is really into the weather too and just sits on the windowsill looking out.

I'm just relaxing with my book today before a busy week! (Still chipping away at 'Lesser Evils'. I don't read as quickly as most of you here!) Saturday I'm flying home to Missouri for a couple weeks, so I thought I'd give the #24in48 a try.
