Ms. Atkinson is a favorite
author of mine and I was excited to see her publish a new series. She never
disappoints and I’ve read quite a few of her books. In "Sword of
Honor" we meet Skye, a young woman shaped by tragedy, just trying to
survive in this post-apocalyptic tale. Skye has done some very bad things in
the name of justice for self-proclaimed Chief Justice, Hunter Wolfe, but when
he ordered violence for violence sake instead of any justice served, Syke has had
enough and defected from his crew. Trouble is, no one leaves Hunter's crew and
lives to tell the tale. Now Skye is not only trying to survive, but she's on
the run from Hunter. Hunkering down in New Denver, Skye believes she's safe,
that is, until Hunter comes into town. Can Skye survive a confrontation or will
she just run again?
This was another kick-ass
story from Miss Atkinson. Never one to shy away from the harshness of life, the
author brings New Denver to life in all its messiness. There is no technology
left and it was inventive how the author bartered everyday materials between
the citizens of New Denver. Throw in some magic, the Lady of the Lake and
Excalibur and you've got a tale that is hard to put down. I adore Arthurian
lore so this was an added plus in my book. My only minor complaint was this
story wasn't longer. I can't wait to see what adventures Skye is up to in book
2. Definitely a Recommended read for fans who love post apocalyptic tales.
I'm so humbled by this review! thanks Debra!
