Veilfall by Adron Smitley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Master Banzu Greenlief is a Swordslinger and the last Soothsayer. We are thrown into a familiar scene: Banzu is facing his Elder Jericho in training. A great opening as it cements the idea of Banzu the Master Swordslinger. He is whisked into a dangerous world by the beautiful stranger Melora and sets himself up along the forces fighting against evil forces hell bent on beginning a thousand year war. On top of this fight, Banzu has to struggle to contain his own secret powers, the bloodlust can bring him unimaginable powers, but no one is safe if he loses himself to it.
Very long sentences and poor punctuation plagued the book. Also, some editing for more conciseness would go a long way. However, the Author did a fantastic job on the world and character building and I thoroughly enjoyed the story once I looked past the issues. A diamond in the rough, to be sure.
