Some heroes live by the sword. Some heroes die by the sword. Some have no idea that they are heroes, for they are just fighting to stay alive... Kane used to be a hero. He was one of the Del Carpio, an honor-bound wanderer committed to keeping the peace in troubled times, until his sword brothers were slaughtered in a moment of treachery and all that he held dear was taken from him. Now he wanders the land in search of the traitor and hating himself for surviving when his brothers did not... Jenn is the Beggar King's puppet. Like Kane, she was once a fearsome warrior until the night she damned herself forever with one stupid mistake. Reduced to committing acts she never thought herself capable of at the orders of a man she despises, she prays for freedom and wonders at the price she will have to pay to get it... Neither of them understands that they are far more important in the grand scheme of things than they could ever imagine. A dark power is rising in the east, driven by the madness of a man in search of ancient magic and given life through an army that he has pulled from the very depths of the grave. If left unchecked, this corruption will soon cover all of Sankarra, destroying it from the inside out. Kane and Jenn are all that stand between them. Can they remember what once made them great? This is the story of mad gods and beggar kings. This is the story of the Ghosts of the Conquered...

I am not a professional reviewer. I am a reader and fan of fantasy books. This review is my fair opinion of The Ghosts of the Conquered.There are a lot of characters and a lot of different stories and at the end of the book, they didn't all connect. Some of the story was confusing and was eventually cleared up but at the end of the story there are still some loose ends that kept me from understanding the connection of some characters and their stories to what I believe is the main plot. I am still not sure there is only one main plot.1. A group of legendary warriors who fought for good have been betrayed and slaughtered. Two survivors aim to have revenge while fleeing a mad king, protecting a baby and aided by a blind man.2. An evil sorcerer plans to destroy all of mankind with part human, part animal creatures he has created.3. A ruler has his own sorcerer raise a dead ancestor and dead army to war with an insane ruler who hates him and who had his wife assassinated and his baby daughter stolen. There is an army fleeing through a mountain tunnel from another army while the dead army is approaching.4. A thief/assassin has been targeted for assassination by his own people and goes after them when they kill his daughter.5. There are two immortals of opposing faiths, the preacher and the Executioner. Their roles are not yet clear.Getting all the characters and their stories sorted and then linked to a main plot took some patience and some rereading, but once most of the puzzle was pieced together, it became a pretty interesting book. I will most likely read the second book to find out more about the main characters and I'm curious to see where some of the missing pieces of the stories are going to fit.

Nevertheless, if you are a Kindle user, I'd strongly recommend reading the free sample before you buy. I did not and regretted it. My impressions:- Every character narrative jumps back and forth between memories, imaginings and actual events with no breaks or warnings making it extremely and unnecessarily difficult to determine what's actually happening. I don't mind being challenged as a reader (keeping all of the character relationships straight in GRRM's GoT is a pleasure) but this struck me as just plain bad writing.- Similarly, but separately, each main character flips around constantly and inexplicably between whiny obsessive angst over their prior failings, certainty that they will fail at their current task ("This was obviously the moment I would die ..."), and then, out of blue, god-like competence and confidence in their infallible talents. Again, I appreciate depth of character, and a certain amount of inconsistency can make characters more real, but this was just senseless (to me).- Terrible writing that evoked bad high school poetry edited with the occasional misuse of a thesaurus. Perhaps writing style is a matter of taste? If so, in this genre, mine run towards Rothfuss, Martin, Abercrombie, etc. I'm pretty confident that, if you like that sort of writing, you're also going to hate this sort.- Annoying quality/editing issues (e.g. "He lifted herself up onto the wall"). I'm used to that sort of thing, and forgive it, in the $.99 indie books that I frequently buy, and often love, in this genre - but not in a full price book such as this one.Unfortunately, I have no offsetting positive things to say. I really wanted to like this book. I also really want to provide a balanced review. Unfortunately, I just can't find one redeeming quality in this disaster.Almost everyone else seems to love this book so, again, maybe the issue is mine but I really recommend you think twice before you buy.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A Great Book By Laura LaBar I really enjoyed this book. It has all the elements of a great fantasy series! I would have preferred a little more character development, but hopefully that will happen in future books. This is exactly the kind of book I love to read, and I highly recommend it to anyone that likes magic, swords, heroes, sorcerers, and grotesque villains! The cliffhanger end makes it especially nail-biting!
