Trance Warriors: The Siege of Scarn - Robert C. Auty ... chaos and warfare and inhabited by both good and malevolent characters, including elves and dwarves, this first book in the ‘Trance Warriors’ saga follows the struggles of outlaw, Connor, as he becomes drawn into a battle between good and evil, part of his destiny from which there is no escape. Connor finds himself vying with both personal and real demons, grappling with a new role as a leader and protector, and learning how to develop and use his innate Trance Warrior powers to stop a bloody conflict and bring the opposing forces together for the ultimate battle on Middle Isle – the Siege of Scarn – against a hidden but escalating evil that could destroy the world.

Fun, fast, extreme bad guys Too slow a build up, central character cliche

compelling, complex, operatic and preposterous; great sense of place operatic and preposterous, OTT ending
