Review by Stevin Onward -- Masters and Bastards
[Following is a volunteer review of "Masters and Bastards" by Christopher J. Penington.]
This book,Mastars and Bastards, is authored by Christopher J. Penington. It is a book that steals the reader's attention to the brim. It is about a guy called Andreas Marset who is called to the Iberian Imperium. He recalls that Commander Leonus had told him that he was going to the Imperium like a black-backed jackal into a lion's den. He is interrogated by a lady who accuses him of committing adultery with an officer’s wife where he was acting as the security guard. Rumors had it that some alien armada would invade carrying a vulgari invasion force, and the Iberian empire had planned a course of action to unite the planet before the alien invasion.
Andreas is also warned by the commander that he should only speak when spoken to, and answer only what he is asked because the military demands discipline. Milady happens to think that Andreas's mind is advanced and there’s more than meets her eyes. However, she does not tell Andreas why he was being questioned and this has Marset thinking. She only tells him that the gift of time and anticipation is the most celebrated power in the history of the world, leaving him in suspense. Whatever the Emperor intents for Andreas is questionable.
I did not like Tavi’s character of throwing caution to the wind just because she's a daughter to a prominent person in the parliament and doesn't care about the welfare of Marset. This almost had Marset killed as he was thinking. I also did not like how Marset's friends mistreated him by sending him to talk to the girls in the pub as if he was just a small boy under experimentation. I did not also like Isabella's monstrous trait. She and her mother make plans for her to have a baby with Andreas which is not pleasing.
I especially liked how Marset portrays a better understanding of things and answers everything just as asked when interrogated by Milady. He thinks critically and seems to already know what the interrogator wants from him. He’s exceptionally perfect in interrogations. He also knows how to handle issues posed to him, especially, in the pub where he meets Tavi; at first, it seemed like a challenge to him to confront the ladies but later on, he manages to bring them all to the other men.
I reward Masters and Bastards a four out of four stars rating because it was professionally edited. I did no locate any considerable typos while going through the book. I also thank Christopher J. Penington for his great work of writing. The story flows in an amazing style and the language used is easy to comprehend,making the book extremely amusing to read.
