The envoys of warangal summary Look when you give me a story following a bunch of characters who are all just a certified hot mess in their own unique way I am in Meet Gen an aroace bodyguard for the King s Envoys who is than happy drinking her wine and swinging her sword now meet Cordyn a conniving rake who is way too charming and lustful for his own good and then meet Tobias a deceptive mage with questionable morals and a deadly lust for vengeance Driven by their own selfish motivations they find themselves reluctantly working together to pull off a daring rescue mission where danger deceit and betrayal lurk around every corner They never signed up to be the heroes but they will do whatever they must to get what they desire cue the chaos The Envoys of War really just hits the ground running and sucks you straight into the crazy messes that these characters call their daily lives I was quickly impressed with how smoothly and skilfully Lawson pulled off the multi POV storytelling delivering a dynamic cast of older characters who all pop off the page in their own unique way Sure they sometimes felt just a bit too caricaturish and melodramatic to me but I simply can t deny their irresistible charm And seeing them clash in the most entertaining ways because of their secret conflicting motivations and opposing personalities was just so entertaining resulting in plenty of disastrously amusing moments where I didn t know if I wanted to hug slap or strangle them all For me Gen was absolutely the highlight of the story not only because she is just effortlessly entertaining and scarily relatable in her flaws but especially because of her openly and unapologetically asexual and aromantic nature that I felt so seen and represented by as someone who lives under the ace umbrella themself Though I also really appreciated Cordyn a.

Envoy wireless adapter Still I had an absolute blast with The Envoys of War and I think it s an extremely promising and enticing start to an excitingly fresh yet comfortingly familiar fantasy adventure I certainly will be back for not least because I want to see so much of my girls Gen and Evalia So if you like the sound of a DnD flavoured quest fantasy full of delightfully messy characters impressively complex schemes surprisingly dark secrets and just a ton of heart then I can t recommend The Envoys of War highly enough. The envoys of warangal summary 5 5 starsThank you to the author for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review All opinions are my own The Envoys of War The Envoys of Chaos 1 I won t rate this book because I wrote it but I had so much fun writing it and I hope you ll enjoy it too The Envoys of War The Envoys of Chaos 1 I appreciate what the author was going for but this was a genre mismatch for me I think fans of humorous fantasy like Terry Prachett will find a lot to like here but unfortunately like the Prachett I ve read I m not the right audience The accent and performance of the audiobook narrator did a great job conveying the humor as well The key in how much you enjoy this book will be how you feel about the main characters Cordyn and Gen I know several people who love Cordyn but he was not for me Cordyn is a snarky fop that injects humor and uncertainty into any scene he is and the story thrives when thrown into that Chaos Gen steadier and often the straight man provides a contrast while adding her own blend of humor and I found her to be the relatable of the two. The envoys of warhammer fantasy The writing was of a good quality and if dry British humor with a dash of absurdity in Fantasy is your thing think the IT Crowd you will absolutely love this The Envoys of War The Envoys of Chaos 1 Envoys of War was so much fun The characters were a loveable hot mess the story was fast paced and full of twists and turns and the dialogue and banter was witty and hilarious I adored this book and cannot wait to see what Dave Lawson does next Check this book out or Francois will come for you Wondering what that meantwell read the book and you ll know The Envoys of War The Envoys of Chaos 1 Great character work Faking a smile was harder than faking anger With anger at least you could remove all expression from your face With happiness you needed to put on a show Wasn t sure about this one at first The main trio except Gen was pretty unlikable for the first couple chapters but watching their characters grow really made this book awesome I loved the character dynamics and it made each POV fun considering no one really trusts each other The magic system is great too Having it based off water was an interesting concept and really allowed for neat moments and ideas like blood magic The big bad at the end is kind of cartoonishly evil but for a fantasy adventure it works The whole story reads like a DD campaign which I ll always appreciate The Envoys of War The Envoys of Chaos 1
