The other review for Warlord that my Google Gizmo found for me comes from Curled Up With a Good Book.

This is a fairly long review, but as usual, with curledup.com's reviews (or, at least, in my experience, the reviews done by David Roy on their behalf), is scupulously fair and balanced. The word telethon doesn't appear once. Nor are there any pointless or irrelevant references to the Bush Administration. Eat your heart out Harriet Klausner:)

(Note to Glenda Larke - there is no mention of the word orgasm, either, Glenda. I suspect you only get one of those references in a review in lifetime. Unless you write books that deal with that sort of thing. Or you could fake it...hahahaha)

Be warned, the full review does contain spoilers from Wolfblade and Warrior. Naturally, this abridged version I've posted here only includes all the bits that make me sound talented and brilliant, while excluding anything even remotely hinting at criticism:)

"Jennifer Fallon is the most entertaining “new” fantasy writer I’ve found in a long time. Her books consistently grip me to the point that I almost have trouble savoring them; I have to race through them to see what she does with her characters....

Fallon’s gift for characterization again manifests itself in Warlord. These characters, who we’ve seen go through trials and trevails in both Wolfblade and Warrior, continue their growth, especially Damin. He really comes into his own in the book, becoming the character we’re familiar with from the “Hythrun Chronicles” books. He’s intelligent and compassionate but scary when he’s angry. We don’t necessarily get to see the rage that can possess him here, but it’s definitely simmering below the surface.

Marla is once again exquisite. She’s become the master manipulator, but Fallon also allows her to grow, and to eventually realize what she has become... She’s fully three-dimensional, and while she’s not always likeable, she’s always interesting to read about.

As is usual, Fallon’s prose is lovely, and her plotting is excellent. The ends of her chapters leave you wanting more, and some of them hit you like a punch to the gut...

...Prequels aren’t always successful, especially when we already know how everything turns out... Fallon succeeds not only in setting up ...two characters for the previous trilogy but also in examining the dangers when you become a mirror image of the person you’re trying to destroy. ...

I’ve enjoyed my stay in this world, an interesting world where Fallon refuses to bow down to political correctness... Fallon presents the world as it is, warts and all, and doesn’t try to make the story an allegory for real-world events. Instead, she tells an enjoyable tale, for which Warlord is the finale. I like that in an author, and I’ll miss these characters when I move on. That’s the sign that an author has done her job, and done it well..."

If you want to read the reasoned, rational and far less biased version, you'll have to go here.
