The comments in the 5 star reviews are right on. This first book of Daniel Adorno’s trilogy does bring back fond memories from when I first read “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings.” It has a similar feel and cast of species. And geography dictates much of both stories. I noticed a couple reviews knocking the similarity between Adorno’s world and Tolkien’s. I don’t see a problem. Tolkien invented a great fictional world and Adorno made a smart choice using Tolkien’s writing to influence his world. It works here.But Adorno is not a Tolkien clone – and this is good because originality and creativity keep readers interested. I like how Adorno introduced Yewa and Yewa’s son, Yesu, and the doubts in Lucuis’s mind about all the ancient history and prophecies in his world. And I like how Adorno revealed pieces of his world history throughout the story. I hope Daniel continues introducing his own elements into later books in this story.
Lucius’s doubts about the outcome of his faith decisions in Adorno’s fictional world mirror doubts I feel every day in our real world trying to slay my own dragons. I can peek inside Lucuis’s world and see the big picture from my reader’s point of view. But just like Lucius in Adorno’s fictional world, I can only see a portion of the real world from my own limited point of view. So just like Lucius, I depend on faith for every decision because I’m not able to step outside the real world and peek inside like a reader. This is true for everyone, for every decision. Especially the big ones, and Lucuis is faced with a whopper. His whole world hangs in the balance.
I have a minor nit. Daniel mentions a few species in passing but doesn't do anything with them. Maybe trolls and orcs will serve a purpose in future installments. But they’re undefined here. If they don’t serve a purpose, just edit them out and stay focused on the story.
I like how Lucuis grows through the story, especially in one key scene near the end of the book when he’s tested. I won’t describe the scene here – buy the book and read it first-hand. You’ll be happy you did. Mr. Adorno, keep up the good work. I look forward to the next book.

The Blade Heir The Azuleah Trilogy Volume 1 Daniel Adorno 9780692273166 Books Reviews
The story itself was actually a pretty good read. Intriguing characters, a compelling storyline, and plot that moved along nicely at a good pace.
The shortcoming I found was the author's insistence on using the incorrect word at the incorrect time. The attempt at using synonyms failed when the words used have completely different meanings from what was intended.
A minor (ish) distraction, but a distraction nonetheless.
As a whole, I enjoyed the book, and look forward to reading the second one.
I really enjoyed this book! I liked the way you got continuing pieces of the story with different characters in action. Then the next chapter told about a different set then of characters doing something to move the same story forward! This is a well-written story line and I can hardly wait to see what happens in the next book!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The writing was easy to follow, the characters were believable. The writing left me wanting more, I love when that happens. It took me 2 days to read the story, but that’s because I didn’t want it to end. Thank you so much Mr. Adorno for entertaining me in your wonderful world!!
Daniel Adorno's novel, The Blade Heir, is a skilled exercise in world-building that I usually don't see in many debuts. Every setting is crafted with rich precision, and the characters are fleshed out creatively. As a Christian allegory, and a fantasy story overall, some of the scenes and actions of the characters come across as a bit telegraphed; as the first in a prospective trilogy, however, this is forgivable as it sets some great groundwork for the future installments.
I will say it left me very intrigued to see which roads it takes in the next two books. I can only hope Adorno challenges himself and his readers with some unconventional and exciting turns after such a well-crafted debut.
The story is well written with a solid plot. The characters are believable and interact well. The story flows well and prepares you for the next book. The main character is interesting with a good back story but is a bit of a jerk at times and a pain in the butt. But it's in line with his character and doesn't hurt the story or its flow. A good read.
Overall I loved this book. The whole feel of it was great. The characters were unique, and the creatures were fascinating. I did find myself wanting to know more about them though. Since this is a trilogy, I'm hoping there will be more backstory and details in the next two books.
One thing I would have to say negatively is on the pacing. Things did feel a little rushed in the beginning, and at other spots in the book. The storyline was great however, and the descriptions and scenarios stuck with you.
I loved how the author depicted Satan, God, and Jesus. Of course they all had different names since this is a fantasy. The main characters struggle with trusting Yewa and Yesu felt very real. It also gives you a deeper perspective on what it's like to trust God during struggle, pain, and adversities.
I'm really looking forward to the next book. I would recommend The Blade Heir to anyone who enjoys Christian fantasy.
The Blade Heir by Daniel Adorno is the first installment of the Azuleah Trilogy. Lucius Nostra finds out that there is more to him than meets the eye.
I simply loved this book. There is everything I love in a fantasy tale in this story. I loved the characters, well most of them. Of course there were characters that I didn't care for, which is expected in such a tale. There were graphic scenes throughout the book, so beware. It also had religious overtones, which doesn't bother me, but be informed. Overall, I'll be reading more of Daniel's work.
