Narrative In Pursuance Of Books The Fallon Blood (Fallon #1)

Despite Robert Jordan being one of my favorite authors, and The Wheel of Time probably being my all time favorite book series, I've never actually read anything else he's written. I don't really give much of a crap about Conan, so I've avoided those, and for a very long time the Fallon trilogy has been out of print and nearly impossible to find, even on digital, due to Jordan's widow not quite trusting the digital medium. But, luckily, Audible has recently done an audio version of the trilogy, and I can finally get to it. I've always been somewhat intrigued by this trilogy's premise, historical fiction of the Revolutionary War, one of my favorite historical periods, written by one of my favorite authors.



Welp, it was okay, but it's no Wheel of Time. I like that it focuses on aspects and events of the American Revolution that are not normally focused on. It's clear that the author had a passion for the history of his hometown, and the part that it played in the Revolution. It's also clear how much research he did on the events he includes in the book. But the characters and romances are pretty weak. Fallon is the only halfway decent character in the book, while most of the others are actively unlikable. It's an interesting look at the American Revolution, from a point of view that you wouldn't normally expect to see it all through, but on the whole it was a bit dull, mostly because of the unlikable characters. Had the characters had, well, more character, the events around them would have been far more enjoyable. I'll probably pick up the second book the next time I have a spare Audible credit I don't know what to do with, but I don't need to immediately go out and grab it to continue the story.

Notice Regarding Books The Fallon Blood (Fallon #1)

I didn't think this book was historical accurate, or along the lines of anything I'd ever read by Robert Jordan before. It is what I'd call a "man's beach read" - historical fiction with some semi-raunchy sections. Don't know if it was good enough for me to continue with the series, though...

I was blown away by this book. After reading the Wheel of Time series I discovered this read. I usually don't become so emerged in historical fiction but I couldn't put this down. Te characters where built perfectly and their interactions were so natural. Robert Jordan has got talent that makes the best writers envious.I give this 6 stars and a 21 gun salute.

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.Robert Jordan was the pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr., under which he was best known as the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time fantasy series.

Very interesting use of the beginning of revolution in America to create a platform for romance, adventure, and pretty unrealistic portrayals of women. The women in this book, unlike in Jordan's WOT series, are quick to give it up, either evil and manipulative or stupidly naive, and orgasm faster than a chimpanzee on steriods. Why why why?

An interesting account of an indentured servant, accurate socio-political atmosphere. Not one of Jordan's best works, but an entertaining read.

Waste of time except for history.
