King’s Property by Morgan Howell
King’s Property is the first book in the Queen of the Orcs series, and Morgan Howell’s first novel. For a story in which the author does such a good job of depicting the harsh realities of the setting, he sure lets the main character, Dar, skate out of bad situation after bad situation to a point where it’s just a bit too much.

Clan Daughter by Morgan Howell
After reading King’s Property, the first book in the Orc series, I could see a lot of room for improvement.
The main character, Dar, was really hard to enjoy reading about and she was just a little too lucky a little too often for my taste.
Book two… Wow, can you say “more of the same”? And 80% of the book is a boring journey which sets the stage for interspecies love and actions on the part of the Orc mothers that totally contradicts everything we have been told about them.
