This book had more promise than Swordland. By the end of the Prologue I actually wanted to know what happened, but in the end it was just as bad as the first. I didn‘t make it through the first chapter. The writing was equally dry. There was more cross dressing (never heard of a man on a chemise before) and the chapters were just of a ridiculous length. Never again with this author. #worstreads #earlofstrongbow #ruadhbutler

I don‘t know who is invading or why (for this to be the invader series) and I don‘t rightly care. The Prologue showed promise, but the first chapter fell so flat I didn‘t even make it halfway though it‘s 52 pages. I just couldn‘t do it anymore, especially knowing I had so many better books to read instead. I‘m sorry I spent money on this drivel.

GingerAntics I really didn‘t want these two bails to be part of my final numbers for this year, but in the 100+ books I‘ve read this year, I feel like only having about 4 books come out as bails probably isn‘t so bad. There is plenty of other stuff I read this year, that don‘t count as books, that make up for these two epic fail bails. @julesG 6y
julesG It is freeing to bail on a bad book. Especially given that there are do many more out there. It frees up your mind and reading time. I haven't regretted a single bail, but I've regretted lost reading time that I spent reading a bad book I didn't dare to bail. Enjoy the better books! 6y
GingerAntics @julesG yeah, I used to see bailing as quitting. I spent so much time in high school trying to power through books and it would either throw me into a reading slump or I would watch a lot of tv to avoid reading the bad book. I think it‘s been this year that I bailed on a book for the first time. It felt very empowering. I feel like there is something to powering through a book sometimes, but not when school is not involved. lol 6y

The use of the word esquire is annoying. It just makes him sound pretentious. It‘s got an air of “I‘ve done my homework and I want you to know about it” as opposed to letting the work speak for himself...but apparently he hasn‘t done ALL of his homework as he‘s got a KING in a chemise. 🙄 I‘m just not sure what to do with this author. I‘m really sorry I spent money on this drivel. #ruadhbutler #edwardruadhbutler #theearlofstrongbow

julesG Just picturing Richard Griffiths, who played Uncle Vernon on Harry Potter and King George in Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides, in a chemise. 😂😂😂😂😂 6y
GingerAntics @julesG oh there is a mental image I can‘t remove from my brain!!! 🤣😂🤣 6y
