Synopsis: |
Wally unites the swordsmen, captures a top wizard and realizes that The World needs both of them. So he hammers out a peace deal between them. In the process though his protege Nnanji rockets up through the ranks and by the end of the book is a Seventh Level Swordsman himself.
Nnanji is charismatic, is willing to
kill, can delegate, has a brother who can scheme like nobody else, a
wife that is ambitious and an unshakeable belief in Wally. So of
course, he is on the road to becoming the first Emperor of The World.
And Wally gets all butthurt and starts
whining about democracy and slinging terms like psychopath and
fascist and dictator. Thankfully the little god has a talk with him
and Wally accepts that he'll have to play second fiddle to Nnanji
from now on.

My Thoughts:
|
This was a decent story right up until Wally starts whining about Nnanji supplanting him. He was all 21st century ideals in the first book but had gotten over that in the second and in this book. Up until that point. Then it was a one chapter tsunami of weak willed bs.
It
ruined everything up to that point for me.
The
story is wrapped up satisfactorily thankfully. This was originally a
trilogy and then years later he wrote a 4th
book, The Death of Nnanji. I
will not be reading that.
★★☆☆ ½
