We are thrilled to share the second epic installment in the Heroes
of the Empire series, The General by Israh Azizi!
Heroes of the Empire series by Israh Azizi is BAAAAAAAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!! Get excited people! Because when we saw the opportunity to dive back into this series...we POUNCED!! We were so excited to come back and find out what happens next we couldn't pass up this opportunity. If you haven't read The Cavalier (book 1) you are missing out!
Heroes of the Empire continues with the General. Who is the general? Well, you'll just have to read this book (preferably after book 1) to find out! Because our lips...are sealed! LOL!
So! Who's back? Everyone who didn't die in book one! Or are they? Will there be twists concerning characters you maaaay have thought went on to the "great beyond" in book one? Maybe...maybe not! One thing is for sure that your jaw is going to be on the floor more than once with this book, so brace yourself and buckle up!
True to form, author Azizi continues with the multiple POV with this series. Each character gets their own chapter, but you just never know who the story is going to shift to. Book two picks up where book one left off with chaos erupting everywhere. Fighting in the castle, lives at stake, and the King's life...under immediate threat. Characters are still manipulating each other, but one's secret...yep...about to come to light. For how long will this "threat" be hung over their head?
Mordon...everything that he has believed all his life? It's about to be ripped away from him and crushed under heel. Brace yourself for revelations that will leave you doing double takes. If you haven't had much sympathy for Mordon...you will after reading this. But the author has quite a bit in store for this character. There is more to him than meets the eye, so when his chapters pop up...pay close attention!
Coralie, Natassa, and Kasdeya (the real one) each have pivotal parts to play in this book. Coralie is trying to save her people. Natassa is struggling with what path she is meant to take in life and Kasdeya...all we have to say is watch out for that particular viper.
The General is packed with so much drama and it is as much of a page-turner as book one was. Once you start reading this book...good luck putting it down because you won't want to. Our advice? Schedule yourself a long weekend, kick everyone out, grab snacks and drinks and settle in in a comfy spot. LOL! This book is absolutely worth it!
The only question that you're going to have when this book ends is...when is book three coming?! We need it now. Like right now, right now. LOL! The General is a fantastic addition to the Heroes of the Empire series, and we just know that you will be as eagerly excited for book three as we are.
5 out of 5 stars
Thank you so much to the author, Israh Azizi, and R&R Book Tours for the opportunity to read and review this book. We look forward to what comes next!

Genre: YA
Fantasy/ Epic Fantasy
THE EMPIRE IS
CRUMBLING, AND THE FATE OF A KINGDOM RESTS IN THEIR HANDS.
Mordon
dedicated his life to his father; his only dream was to prove himself
worthy of Verin's general. But with the ruthless Tariqin attack comes
a brutal awakening. Captured by enemy forces and dragged into a war
camp full of the people he was trained to kill, his hopes of proving
himself worthy are dashed to pieces. When the enemy offers him a
chance for a grand future, he's faced with a test that stretches him
beyond his limits.
Coralie's burden has never been
heavier. After the Dark Lord Prolus's recent assault and her uncle's
declining health, it is up to her to keep her kingdom together. The
inevitable return of the Tariqin army lurks at their doorstep and her
time is running short. Coralie turns to the newest residents of
Verintown for assistance. Branded traitors and hated by many in the
castle, they may very well be her downfall. Using their pledge for
change in her favor, she tasks them with a mission most would
consider a death sentence.
Two determined warriors
separated by a river of blood. Mordon must risk everything to become
the man he yearns to be, and Coralie must fight to become the queen
she was born to be.

About
the Author
Israh Azizi
resides in the land of ten thousand lakes with her family and five
cats. Since she was a little girl she has been a lover of words and
fanciful tales. It was her dream to one day share a story of her own
with the world. With sheer determination, lots of love, and a decent
amount of caffeine, she managed to make that dream come true. Besides
reading and writing, she has a dizzying number of hobbies, some of
which include bossing around her younger siblings, experimenting with
new baking recipes, and playing board games with her family and close
friends. When life’s plot twists don’t cross her path and her
fingers aren’t dancing across the keyboard building a fantastical
adventure, she can usually be found in a quiet corner with a good
book and a steaming cup of coffee.
