I had heard mixed reviews on this, but was looking for something new to read and saw that the kindle version happened to be on sale and I had some credits...so I thought I'd give it a try. Boy was I pleasantly pleased. This was a easy, quick read with just enough fantasy for the fantasy lovers, a nice mystery for the mystery fans and some thrilling action scenes that kept the pace moving. I really can't say enough about this and can't wait to get into the 2nd book. “’[…]you did not fancy just smashing him with the Voice?’” ‘Vonvalt shook his head. ‘No,’ he said, with a hint of reproach. ‘Not yet, at any rate. You are more well versed than most in its limitations.’” In “The Justice of Kings” by Richard Swan Right! There are always limitations for the use of Magick! Lo and behold, nothing comes without a price tag! Wouldn't reality/life be very, very boring without books like these? Most peoples' lives are: Wake up; Shit,Shower,Shave (!); Dress; Commute to work (if you’re not in WFH mode), whilst imaging not commuting to work to a job your hate; Work in a job you hate, while being under-recognised and under paid; Commute home, while thinking about what to have for dinner/tea; Cook /eat tea; wash pots; watch mindless, slightly-less-boring-than-your-own-life-TV; Go-to-bed; dream of winning lottery; wake up…; Rinse and repeat 5xdays a week; Punctuated by 2 days a week to do housework DIY etc., etc.; Punctuated by the odd escape from reality on holiday / weekends away / sex / sport / pub / restaurant. Shouldn’t Fantasy like this do not have to rely on unreserved suspension of disbelief? How can the fact that Vonvalt when dealing with a murder of a woman uses the voice and a few chapters previously, as he was dealing with with a minor misdemeanor, he didn’t? The justification is the uusal one,i.e., the cost of using it restricts its use, so Vonvalt cannot just go around making everyone tell the truth, yada, yada. Ring a bell? Plot contrivance galore! That’s Fantasy for you! Maybe that’s what one needs to compensate for one’s dreary lives… keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"The Empire of the Wolf simmers with unrest. Rebels, heretics, and powerful patricians all challenge the power of the Imperial throne. Only the Order of Justices stands in the way of chaos. Sir Konrad Vonvalt is the most feared Justice of all, upholding the law by way of his sharp mind, arcane powers, and skill as a swordsman. At his side stands Helena Sedanka, his talented prot?,? orphaned by the wars that forged the Empire. When the pair investigates the murder of a provincial aristocrat, they unearth a conspiracy that stretches to the very top of Imperial society. As the stakes rise and become ever more personal, Vonvalt and Helena must make a choice: Will they abandon the laws they've sworn to uphold in order to protect the Empire?"--Dust jacket flap.

This book was really weird in an enjoyable way and the action scenes were well written, and the final battle floored me tho because there was so much going on.
I need to read the next book immediately..... ( )
