Broken Banners
Mark Gelineau and Joe King
Slaughtered and left for crows, soldiers of the King’s Army lay dead in a field. A grim reminder: the king’s law ends at the gates of the capital.
Elinor fought for what she believed and now she is an outcast. No soldier will follow her. No officer will stand with her. Yet when she finds her brothers and sisters slaughtered, she cannot turn her back on them.
Long ago, they swore an oath. Not to the king, but to each other.
And woe to those who break that bond.
I received this ebook in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley.
I did a thing! I have been catching up on my reviews and I am pretty proud of myself.
I finished A Reaper of Stone and I thought I would look and see if they had any other books available for review on NetGalley. Now I have about 4 or 5 of their books I think? I am drowning in NetGalley reviews but I also want to read what I want and I get in a funk after a while on being forced to read them even though I want to read them....Yeah that doesn't really make sense. Like at all.
These are short and really good and hold my attention and are a breeze to go through. It gives me the feeling of Middle- Earth which I love. I am 100% a geek. Someone said the other day, is this when Han Solo gets put in the stone? I was like stone? what stone? Do you mean carbonite? That is the correct term ma'am.
I get that look a lot. Well this book picks up not long after A Reaper of Stone (totally check out my review on it, and check them out on Amazon!) but we start out from Aldris' perspective. He is a character we have not met yet, He was apparently a bully and easy influenced I would say. He is easily swayed by power and money unfortunately. I personally didn't like him....
I really did not like his character. I really like these books but I feel like a love triangle is unnecessary. Aldis is, I am guessing, the bad boy character. Personally, I like Con better. Yes Aldis was nice to Elinor but he wasn't nice to anyone else in school and it was just because he had a crush on her.
I seriously do not feel like the love triangle was necessary but hey they are still good books. Some of my favorite books are love triangles. (Hello The Dark Elements series!)
Anyways....Let me continue on. They add Aldris into the mix and we switch to Elinor and Con's perspective. They are following a few weeks behind Aldris because they have been ordered to join their company because of what happened at Timberline. Elinor is fine with this because she seems at peace after her experience there but Con is not happy because he does not like Aldris at all.
Well Aldris has got himself in a big pile of crap and now Elinor and Con have to save him and his men from the baddie. Again Gelineau and King deliver an addicting fantasy tale filled with action and character growth throughout the book. I for one will be reading all of their books I can get my hands on and would highly recommend this to fantasy lovers and Lord of the Rings junkies. Just take a page from me and dive on in. It is worth a try and you definitely won't regret it.
I give Broken Banners a 5 out of 5 stars.

So, before I get into this review, I have a confession to make: Despite this being the second entry in a series, I haven't actually read [b:A Reaper of Stone|26721866|A Reaper of Stone (A Reaper of Stone #1)|Mark Gelineau|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1442718604s/26721866.jpg|46084021] yet. In some ways, this makes for an unfair review, but as the story is also rather self-contained, with but a few hints of what comes next to wet one's curiosity, it does not matter too terribly much, I think.
Prose: 3/5
As far as prose goes, I think it was solid, if not particularly inspiring. For the most part it was good enough to tell the story it wanted to tell without drawing too much attention to itself, but there were a few places where it felt a little drab and lacking. Somewhat cut and dry. The best that it could be said is that it certainly matched the snowy, mountainus setting.
Pacing: 3/5
This, too, felt solid. However, I find there really wasn't enough difference between some of the viewpoint character to warrant going from the head of one to the head of another when they were both in the same place. I honestly think the novel could have done completely without Con, as Aldis and the female lead were clearly the more interesting characters, and more time in their head-space (specially Aldis') could only have been a good thing
Plot: 3/5
While the plot in itself was interesting enough (specially with that first Aldis chapter and the subsequent drive to know what happened to him), I think the previously-described drabness of the prose sabotaged just how much more impact it could have had if things had been better described and we had been allowed to dwell just a little longer in the world, seeing things just as the characters saw them, instead of getting what felt like a skimmed-through version. Also, the resolution felt a little cheap and anti-climatic. Perhaps my opinion is skewed because of not having read the first instalment like I said (and perhaps after I read it I will feel better about this) but the mountain-power thing feel ridiculously deux ex machina-ish.
Characterisation: 3/5
Aldis and the female lead were nice enough, but the rest of the cast was just barely there. However, the one reason I give this a three instead of a four is merely because of how much of a disappointment the main villain was.
World-building: 2/3
Something else that is probably also being affected from me not reading the first instalment. However, I believe there could have been explanations, at the very least, for what Razors are. I mean, sure, you might have explained that in the first book, but even an oblique, passing half-reference to the nature of their powers or something to that effect could have helped.
Overall: 3/5
I feel like I said a lot of negative things with very few nice ones, however I think this series has promise, if the authors can polish their style a little more. The book was definitely an entertaining read, specially since it was so short, but part of me can't help but feel I would have enjoyed it even more if it had been longer and more thoroughly explored in all the right ways.

I liked the first book in this series better than this one, but this novella was still a solid second book. Elinor is an amazing kick ass woman you can't help but cheer for. I love learning her backstory and we did get more in this story. Really good. A quick read. I would recommend it. 4.5 out of 5 stars. Can't wait for book three!

All four storylines in The Echoes of the Ascended have been introduced and now it is time for the second round of stories, of which Broken Banners is the first. As I overall really liked the first four novellas, I was looking forward to the new batch.
Elinor returns and finds a field full of slaughtered soldiers. As she investigates, she finds that maybe she can't trust her own friends...
I enjoyed this novella slightly better than the first Reaper of Stone novella. She wasn't my favourite character in the first novellas. It might be that I've gotten better used to Elinor, but perhaps also the fact that there are starting to be more and more links between the stories, which I think will be a lot of fun to follow through the stories. I'm wondering if at some point the stories will merge together (and how that would happen, as the authors state that anyone can just follow the stories they think are interesting, and thus they may not know certain characters).
As these are published once a month, I'm already looking forward to the next!
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Broken Banners is the sequel to A Reaper of Stone in the Echoes of the Ascended Books. They have done an excellent job once again with this book. We are reunited with Elinor and Con after the events at Timberline. But we are also introduced to a new character: the ambitions Aldis. In essence though a new character to us he is a familiar in the sense that is ambitious, has debts to pay off and wishes to have money, power and recognition. So the question is…how far will he go to achieve these things? Who and what will he sacrifice to obtain his end?
A keep has not been dismantled that was set to have been done so for over a month ago, the King’s men lay two days dead in the snow…cut down from behind as they fled and a Lord is missing who never took the keep that was now his to claim. Instead…the village people live in fear of one who has come and Aldis and more of his people are missing. Can Elinor discover what happened to them?
This book is engaging very quickly and immediately grabs you once Elinor steps in. Her bravery and honor make her a truly fascinating and engaging character that you just want to see succeed at everything that she does. I love the fact that even though she does bold and seemingly reckless acts that she has many who stand not only behind her but with her.
Broken Banners is such an engaging read and of course leaves you on a cliff hanger wanting to know more about what has happened to Elinor and what Aldis and the warden have planned next. Joe King and Mark Gelineau have definitely created an engaging and riveting world that draws you back every time that you hear that they have a new book out. You immediately will want to go and snap it up to learn more and continue your journey into this new world of unseen and seen monsters. If you’re not reading these books you are mostly definitely missing out.
I give Broken Banners by Mark Gelineau and Joe King 4.5 and 5 stars. Well written and can’t wait for more. Hopefully we wont have to wait too long. ;-)

Review Here
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first novella in the Reaper of Stones series, I was really looking forward to the second and I certainly enjoyed it more. Although new characters were introduced, I already knew what sort of world I was getting into. There is precious little time for adjustment in such a confined form of writing and it was enjoyable to sink straight back into it. Although it has been a while since I read the first one and couldn’t remember how exactly magic worked, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything.
I also felt like I understood the plot more this time as well. Not that the previous one was confusing, but there wasn’t the same focus on magic this time, potentially because the world didn’t need to be built. It was a straightforward hostage situation and you got to know Elinor’s character more because you were witnessing her reaction to a situation that us some the readers understood clearer. You can appreciate her bravery in a straight-up fight compared to a magical battle that the reader can’t truly follow.
The new characters were interesting. Aldis was annoying but because he recognised that character flaw in himself, it didn’t distract from the story. The engineers were all worth their time on the page, an aspect I think is highly important in the novella. Con too had just about enough – I would like to see what he is truly capable of though rather than being in Elinor’s shadow and playing a supportive role. The fact he survived this story gives me hope he will be the lead in one soon.
Despite saying the plot was easier to understand, there was an incident at the end that threw me – again, this is where magic played a part and it didn’t feel like either enough happened or that I understood what did happen. In fairness, the characters didn’t truly understand either, but it did feel a little rushed and just like in the first book, magic being used as a means to an end. In this case, the end was how to get the characters through it alive.
I feel like this world has more to give and will certainly carry on reading. Although it goes against the idea of a novella, I want something a little longer, where unexplained magic is not the answer to the unsolvable dilemma.

Another amazing novella! Thank you, Netgalley and Joe King for reaching out and sending me yet another awesome work by the dynamic duo.
Broken Banners brings us back to Elinor and Con on their next great mission: to meet up with the Ninety-Fifth Pioneers at Height's Ward Keep to transfer their engineers to Aldis, another one of their old classmates who was friends with Elinor. When they get there, Con and Elinor something has gone terribly wrong as they discover the bodies of fellow men at arms, slaughtered from behind. Has a once close friend turned to the dark? Will he help Elinor and Con right the wrongs that have been committed, or will they all fall fighting for what is just?
Broken Banners is an example of writing fantasy done to perfection. King and Galineau's novella series Echoes of the Ascended as written in such a way that it creates a more compelling story and better world-build than most full-length novels of the same genre. Here is a world where the officials are corrupt, where fighters who manipulate the elements are treated little better than mercenaries, and there are so few people left practicing the old ways and fighting the good fight. My only complaint is that we don't get a full novel, jam-packed with the adventures of Elinor and Con as she fulfills a destiny that she doesn't quite understand yet and he helps her along the way.
Can't wait for the next installment!

As with the first story in this series I found the characters very interesting as well as plenty of action for the fantasy reader. I look forward to exploring more of the authors world in future stories and books.
