Another great book in the In Her Name: The Last War series! This book further makes the reader feel that there really is no "good" side or "bad" side. While the Kreelans are the ones attacking the Human sphere, to their minds they have very valid reasons to do so. I particularly loved the fleshed out story of Tesh'Dar and really grew to love Li'ara Zhurah. With all of the in fighting that the humans were having in this book I actually found myself rooting for the Kreelans on several occasions. When I first started reading this series, I never thought I'd find myself cheering on the enemy!
Great read! Can't wait to read Dead Soul next!

Legend of the Sword follows Ichiro Sato as the war against the Kreelans progresses, with the administration of a rogue planet confounding the whole situation.
Hicks makes a giant step forward in his writing here; better plot, better dialogue, more fleshed-out characters that make a much more cohesive story that's more enjoyable to read than the first in this series. An additional proof-reading/editing would not hurt.

I was actually not overly thrilled about the first book in this series. It was still good enough for me to want to try and read another one though. After all I really hate starting on a series and not finishing it. In this case I was rewarded with a pleasant experience.
This book was really enjoyable to read. As I mentioned in my review of the first book, there’s a lot to like in this book series. There are plenty of action, both in space and on the ground, an alien invasion of giant blue amazons and some interesting characters. As in the first book the action, the fleet maneuvers and science in general are quite well written and generally believable. Well the believable part starts to get a bit thin when these überwarriors and priestesses of the Kreelans gets going of course.
I was really bugged by the Kreelans and their mysterious ways in the first book which led me to give it a less than stellar rating. I’m still bugged by them in this book but not so much as before. Part of this is probably because I knew what I was getting this time so it was not as much of a surprise as in the previous one.
The thing that really annoys me though is that these Kreelans could crush the humans like they were insects but they have chosen to downgrade their technology for a more “honorable” fight while, at the same time, they are looking for their mythical savior. I’m still not super thrilled by this background story but okay…I go for it. But then, every time the humans seems to get some upper hand, the Kreelans cheat and bring out some super technology, or downright magic, to neutralize this advantage. What the f…?
Anyway, I definitely enjoyed this book more than the first one. It is really well written, as was the first one, and with plenty of action. I’m looking forward to read the next one now. Much more so than after the first one.

While I don't hugely enjoy the alien side of this story, when the actual fighting kicks off, it's a pretty good page turner! The early story setup for this 2nd part in the series was quite slow, then boom, everything kicks off and we have multiple characters in different story threads, doing different things, having different adventures. I fair liked that I must admit, and thus the latter half of the book was quite the rush to the end to find out what happens next.
