“Truth and Deception” is clearly the start of Grimm’s final battle. Numal, who has just earned the title Mage Necromancer, joins him, you may remember him as an Adept Grimm met on his first day. Numal’s the older gentleman who wanted to be a clown and not a mage.
Crossing Grimm’s path and joining as well, is Lizaveta’s grandson, Questor Guy “the Great Flame” Fulinar. Guy is arrogant, rude, egotistical, and above everything else determined to obliterate his grandmother. Who is Guy’s father and does Lizaveta really not know of her grandson? My favourites are also back: Tordun, Crest, Harvel, and new compadre, General Quelgrum. Yes, demon storyteller, Thribble is here, too. As with all fantasy quests, who will survive? Mr. Archibald, please don’t kill any of my favourites. Then, again, every good story requires sacrifices.
And The Chronicles of Grimm Dragonblaster are good stories. Mr. Archibald has created a world that does not have to end with this quest. His characters could contain onto new quests against new adversaries. The background Mages are interesting enough to carry their own stories, too. I have two more Grimm books to read, I will be lost once done. Thank you, Mr. Archibald.” ChrisChat Reviews
