The Slog of War
“What happens next?”
“How am I supposed to know? I’ve never been in a war.”
“But we’ve been here for three hours at least. And we haven’t eaten a thing.”
“Look, all I know is we’re supposed to sit here and be quiet until the tribes are finished pledging— or whatever it’s called. And we’re all hungry, but at least you don’t get cold.
“How many tribes are left?”
“You can count.”
“Wait, how many tribes did we start with?”
“Kal, can you just find some way to be interested in what’s going on? Mama said this hasn’t happened in decades. And they’re here for you, after all. The least you can do is show some interest. Shh! Here comes a tribesman.”

The Warden and the Wolf King by Andrew Peterson is the book currently being featured by the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy blog tour.
This book is the fourth and final book in the series, and unfortunately I haven’t read the series. But judging from the opening chapters— available for free as a sample for your Kindle— even if you haven’t read the series, this final book can hook you all on its own.
Often a series book other than book one tends to begin with long, boring summing-up of what has gone before featuring telling-not-showing. Or else things that make a reader of the first book weep, but leave the new-to-series reader confused as heck. This book is not like that.
Andrew Peterson skillfully introduces us to the book’s characters and situations, usually in the course of interesting action. I found it compelling and often amusing.

Great idea to include a sample of the writing!
Thanks, Robert, I thought the author’s words were better than anything I could say about the author’s words.
