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. The explanations for each magic escape work, but it needs to change to a point where Dar takes fewer risks,

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.

No doubt about it--I have to read these.
