"A good sequel to the first Orcs book, but it lacks some of the original's punch. I love the concept of multiple worlds, dimensional travel, evil empires invading lands under false pretenses and an interdimensional force of guardians. I wish there was a bit more character development, though."
— Rick (4 out of 5 stars)
" This continues the epic of the Orcs. Sure it's a little standard in it's storytelling, but the strangeness of the different viewpoint really makes a difference. It's a lot of fun, and it's a good continuation to the series. I hope to see more of this author soon. "
— Patrick, 6/14/2013" I love this series but needs to keep growing "
— Craig, 2/14/2013" It's called Orcs, and that's exactly what you get - burly fantasy creatures beating the tar out of other fantasy creatures. It's uncomplicated fantasy-action fun! "
— Peter, 11/20/2012" I rate this 3 stars in a totally good way. As in... it was really enjoyable, it was rather original, it was good action fantasy, and I am reading the next part in the series. However, great literature it is not, and that is OK! "
— Steve, 8/27/2012" Vampires randomly made an appearance. Not sure what to say about that. "
— Eve, 12/12/2011" Not as gripping as the first book. It definitely felt like part of a story parceled into a sequel. "
— Mike, 12/11/2011" I really don't know what to say. My brain kept telling me this was the worst book I had ever read, but my spirit kept screaming "BOO YEAH! ORCS KILLING STUFF!!!!11" "
— James, 2/18/2011" exellent book, really enjoyed it. "
