Can't wait for the next one!!

When I started reading this book, I immediately loved the story line. The character backgrounds are so detailed that I felt that I knew them as if they were my own family members. I couldn't put the book down and when I got to the end of it, I was ready for the next installment. No disappointments with this one. A fast moving story that keeps your interest and involves you in the story line. I recommend this book for all ages. Great job! Keep them coming.........

The Hammer and The Sword....Enchanting!

I started reading The Hammer and The Sword with no expectations. Not too long into the book I realized this was a great story. This book kept my interest from beginning to end. I have already ordered the next book in the series. I cannot wait to see it made into a movie. A must read for anyone that loved Lord of the Rings. Keep them coming Jason M. Green!

This is not a shameless self-promotion

Yes, I wrote this book, but I am not doing this to shamelessly self-promote. Instead, I am writing this review to say that I want to guarantee that I will make sure I consider my work to be worthy of a five star rating before I publish it. To willingly publish anything that is less than my best effort is to do a disservice to those that read my work. Not only would it be unprofessional on my part, but it is kind of insulting towards readers to just publish something that is less than your best work for the sole purpose of making money. So I give you my word that if I don't consider something to be my best effort I will not publish it. Thank you to anyone who buys and/or reads my books.

A good start to a writing career

I have read some debut novels before, but I must say this one was better than I would have expected from someone just starting out, and I think this novel deserves the five stars I have given it. I will be the first to admit that this book is a bit graphic in parts, but it seems to be in keeping with the idea that the world these characters live in is a dangerous place, and the descriptiveness of the things different people go through illustrates that point very well. The world is fairly expansive, the cultures are unique while still being slightly based on the cultures of this planet's history, the characters have personalities of their own, which is a plus, but you have to read it to believe how terrible the main villain is. I won't spoil things by telling you about the main antagonist other than saying his name is Anstrom, but I suggest you read this story. You'll not regret it.
