Rise of Empire by Michael J. Sullivan

4.0

another 2 books combined into one I think? anyway the first book was good. not sure I completly love how it handles the female characters. they are often introduced as being smart and capable, but are then promptly useless when they need to be a damsel for plot, then they are made awesome again as the story grows. girls are always having weak emotional stuff and quietly crying while guys, instead, get to have weak moments where they doubt their purpose in manly fashion. but, after reading book part 1 of 2 i am definitely enjoying myself.
