The series is worth reading. I'm surprised by the ending, totally didn't expect it. The book exceeded expectations. Just when I felt like I heard this all before, the story changed course and the war went from boots on ground to Stiger bracing to wage battle in a different time and dimension.So humanity is still at war fighting beside or against mythical creatures (i.e. orcs, elves, dwarves, gnomes etc). Stiger commands his units with no aid from the empire. Edelheit doesn't go into what position the Emperor takes on the matter of the compact and Stiger's new position as Legate. Book three has a few big cliff hangers:What is the Emperor's position on the compact and what aid is he sending? Is Eli's father a friend or foe of Stiger? Does Eli know his father is with the Emperor and if so, is he withholding this from Stiger? What's beyond the World Gates? Are the Gods at war? Is Stiger's sword an evil relic? Is Stiger going to pair with the beautiful elf? How did the dark priests manage to overrun a dragon? I wish the dragon survived.There are a lot of open areas for discussion and the next book can go in so many ways. Edelheit has a lot of gaps and fill-in the blanks to contend with in the next book(s). All in all I have a good feeling. Thus far he earned my respect. I think he'll come thru.I did have trouble picturing strategic formations and positions (like in the city with the invading Orcs and the legionaries attacking them from buildings). Small matter. Didn't make sense and I couldn't gauge the size of enemy in the city. Yes, it's true that the Orc invasion was clearly a diversion tactic, I wasn't 100% sure. It's things likethis that make a story different than others in the same genre. It's about progression and changes.
