It's been a strange week.
Taelyn is a simple, solid young shepherd. On his own since the death of his parents four years ago, he enjoys the life he leads in the small, rural village of Byrkhill caring for his farm and sheep. The past week, however, has been filled with strange occurrences that disrupt the orderly world that Taelyn loves, but his troubles seem to be coming to an end, at least that's what he thinks until a crazy old man shows up on his hillside raving about gods and knights. With that inauspicious start, the easy life of the shepherd is turned upside down as the powers of both worlds swirl and converge around him.
The end of the Great Game is in sight, and the pawns are on the move. The forces of all the gods, lawful, chaotic, good, and evil, seem to be focused on the young man and the magician sent to collect him for Bartleby, a god unknown by most scholars. How can the pair of mortals hope to survive in a game played by the gods?
Law of the Land continues the sweeping story of The Scofflaw Series and the magical world where life and death, wars and peace, exist solely at the discretion of capricious gods.
Law of the Land The Scofflaw Series Book 2 eBook Christopher J Taylor
The writing wasn't bad but there are quite a few typos that can easily be fixed.This took a couple of hours to read so it isn't that long but by the time I got to the end I didn't feel like anything had really been resolved. I don't know how many parts there will be to this book but I won't read any more unless I find them for free like I did this one.
If you're looking for a stand alone book, this one is not for you.
I did like what I read but I didn't feel like it ended in a good place to be a complete book.

Law of the Land The Scofflaw Series Book 2 eBook Christopher J Taylor Reviews
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
(Spoilers within)
I fell ill when I started reading this book, so it took me longer to get through than it normally would and might have affected might perceptions. Regardless, these are my thoughts.
Right away I knew this book would have a major problem with characters. At the beginning of the book there is a list of characters with short snippets about who they are. This is a very short book, so having that many characters listed meant there wouldn't be enough time to develop them all. I understood who a few of the characters were, but there were definitely many who were little more than names to me.
There were quite a few errors littering the text. I always knew what the author meant to say, but there was plenty like this
<em>"Salvage," Cazmeran corrected., "Are you...
He moved to help the boy but stopped when a solder clad head to toe is steel plates...
...and brandished is wildly at he fog.
...the creature growled and pointed up the mountain with he spear.</em>
These sorts of errors were common.
The story also just sort of ends.There's no real conclusions, nothing is pulled together. It's more like we got the first chapters of a story. Now, I understand this is a series, but stories still have a beginning, middle and end.
Consider television for a second. There may be an overarching plot for a season or entire series, but each episode will feel complete in and of itself. This is becoming pretty common as more people write series where books will just 'stop' without anything having been solved, and you're expected to buy the next book. Instead of feeling like a series it feels more like a single book that was chopped up and sold in parts. There's no particular reason for these chapters to be separated from the rest.
That said, it was a fairly fun book. It was easy to read and had a fast pace. I wouldn't mind reading more into the story. I enjoyed some of the conversations Taelyn and Cazmeran had. I didn't have a problem following along with the story save for some of the motivations/plans of the gods (mostly because there are so many and not a lot of time to show them). There was one particular chapter that opened up describing Sarith that I thought was done particularly well. I wish that sort of time had been devoted to more of the characters, because I really got a feel for who he was in that chapter.
It isn't a bad book to pick up if you're interested in reading a book revolving around the politics between gods and a boy chosen to go on an adventure. Just be aware that it does have a lot of errors and you won't get any sort of conclusion.
Also, people who are sensitive to rape may not want to read this book. There isn't anything particularly graphic about that subject, but it is brought up a lot.
ok
