So it looks like i'm deep in the world of orc smut and i'm not sorry about it!

As mentioned in my review of the first book in the Orc Sworn series, these books are akin to IPB in that the orcs while monstrous and unconventional looking, they are at heart lovely creatures who want to live care free in their mountain and breed women to make more orcs, simple.

Where the books really begin to open up is how Finley Fenn is expanding the world around them as well as the cultural, political and socio economic structure of the orcs. In this book we meet Natt who is destined to become a Speaker, an orc entrusted to speak and draw truths from those around him while having the magically ability to do so. Its an interesting power/concept and as the books go on, you learn so much more about what the orcs are capable of and how deep their familial structures go. Its really quite charming.

These books are very descriptive with some questionable sexy time but in the end it is all consensual and above board. This book however does take a bit of a dark turn when one of the orcs mentions his SA by a clan of enemy orcs. Uncomfortable to read (not described in any way) it added a sense of realism to the orcs in that good and bad things happen to them, just as they do to the humans and shows how the author is branching out to make their relationships more realistic and not only fantastical which i respect.

Again, lots of orc spunk lol and its clear now that yes, it is some kind of nutrition in order to fatten the women and keep them healthy to bare orc sons. I promise you, you cant make this stuff up! haha
