I truly enjoyed this well thought out story. I can visualize each character and their journey for freedom through the authors descriptive language. I loved the strong female hero. Looking forward to the next book!

Russel Frans has created a spectacular literary masterpiece with “Victory and Death.” The characters are well thought out, the plot is original, creative and fun. This is definitely a fantasy title worth checking out, and I can’t wait to see what Mr. Frans has in store. You can tell that he put a ton of time and thought and care into this story. The cover art is also worth buying the paperback version. 5/5 from me for sure. Great job!

My first thought on finishing Victory and Death was, “Dear gods, he killed his —!” My second thought was, “This is an author who has a vision.”

Victory and Death is a first novel, and while the narration can be a little rough at times, the emotions of the characters bleed through beautifully.

This is a fast-paced and descriptive story. The characters are well-thought out and believable. The author did an excellent job with the main female character, and I, personally, would like to see more strong female characters in the next book.

The world building is descriptive without being repetitive, and the underlying message of tolerance, and hope, and belief in something beautiful…is a message that I, as a reader, will happily choose any day.

Overall, I found this a fantastic first novel. I look forward to more from this author!
