Will they take back their home or will they be forced back in that hole?

Rating
My Opinion

90/100

I think that it is a very good book to read or buy and then be able to find out what happens. It uses good language and when you read the first book you won't want to stop reading the series. Some of the battles are over territories and some are just for pure evilness. It is also good for your vocabulary.
