The Silent Army

Reviews / Votes

-"The Silent Army delivers an avalanche of action and a bleak world full of strong characters. This is a worthy conclusion to the Seven Forges series." - Cowering King; "James A. Moore keeps getting better. The cast of characters expands. Moore juggles them with ease, giving each one some background so that they don't all run together. And the battle scenes, whether it's individual combat or armies clashing, are riveting. Plus the intrigue keeps on getting more complex. This is one is highly recommended." - Adventures Fantastic; "The prose is sharp, the pace wonderfully timed with great action tempered with some wonderful lulls to allow you to get your breath back. Back this up with some great characters alongside a world that is delightfully designed all round makes this a series that continues to go from strength to strength. Finally, and this is the clincher for me, Moore gives the characters a depth with their dialogue that not only shows their devotions but also gives them a roundedness that allows you to become fully immersed. Cracking." - Falcata Times; "The Silent Army is a book that improves on every facet that made its predecessors great. This feels like a satisfying conclusion to the first arc of a much bigger story, because this book ends a bunch of plot threads that began right back at the start of the first book, but it leaves some big threads wide open begging for more. I need more stories set in this world. Please indulge me, Mr Moore." - Fantasy Book Review; "A strong instalment with no shortage of action." - The Speculative Herald; "I love this series, I will not lie about it. It has ALL the things that make a great fantasy read. Mr. Moore steadily ups his game with each new installment. I call this 'dark' fantasy, it does have epic leanings, great characters, great action and an awesome world, that pretty much wins me everytime. I won't gush much more, but if you like the fantasies and you like sword swinging and heads flying through the air like so much dust in the wind, give James A. Moore all your money!" - Shelf Inflicted; "With The Silent Army, Mr. Moore has given us Epic: a world spanning conflict, a struggle to decide the fate of an entire civilization. And I for one loved every "epic" event which the author threw my way. Scene after scene of it. Every titanic clash, every awe-inspiring magical event, every god-like creature, every dramatic revelation, every horrid deed, all of them building into a sword and sorcery feast not to be missed. The Sa'ba Taalor rising to the forefront of most epic race in sword and sorcery literature." - Bookwraiths; "The final installment of a great epic story has drawn to a close and it ended with a huge bang. From the very first page down to the last, James A. Moore does not pull the punches in delivering an action-filled story that's full of savagery and pumps adrenaline page after page after page. Thank you James A. Moore for such a wonderful and magical journey." - Zirev; "On a Goodreads scale I give it five stars (if I could give it ten, I would. Or eleventy-million - either or.)" - Amanda J Spedding
