Editorial Reviews

rating onrating onrating onrating onrating off The Empire, it Strikes Back!

An Empire of Law (AEOL) is a vast political thriller and a fantasy serial, all in one.  Griffins and wizards inhabit a world of forests and deserts, and the emperor declares war on the magic users when one of their number assassinates his wife.

With diverse characters and the intrigues of the imperial court, AEOL offers fast-paced action on a grand scale.  Each chapter increases interest and suspense, as stakes are raised in the conflict.  The author, Allan T. Michaels, has clearly given a lot of thought to the history of his fantasy world, and populated it very realistically.

AEOL is a traditional fantasy story, in the tradition of Tolkien, Guy Gavriel Kay and others of note.  If I have any complaints at all (as Allan’s writing improves on a weekly basis) it’s that the story isn’t as original a premise as his other work, Superstition, even though it has a better pace and grittier characters.

(Review subject to change as the serial continues)
