Three of them are born at once. Some say they are gifted - Chosen - by the gods. Others say they are so aberrant even the gods cannot stop them from existing. Three of them living at once is unprecedented... and dreaded. Aleena is a gifted warrior who only wants the world to leave her alone. Anlon is an equally gifted warrior who wants the world under his boot. Baezha is a gifted witch whose intentions are unknown, even to her. Both Aleena and Anlon are skilled, proud and jealous. Their rivalry is inevitable, yet Aleena knows Anlon is a brother in addition to a rival. Jealousy, mercy, forgiveness and vengeance threaten to consume all she loves. Yet what of the third Chosen, Baezha, a powerful sorceress quietly watching the other two? And will the gathering of this triad result in balancing the equation into order or unbalancing it into further madness?

The story is essentially good versus evil By Timothy Stead Triad is essentially the story of Aleena Kurrin, a blacksmith's daughter born with a magical gift for mayhem. She cuts her teeth killing slavers who are, truth be told, carboard cutouts of evil. They are so unredeemed that they lack any semblance of character, and killing them seems a kindness to the plot and reader alike. It does seem to trouble Aleena, however. She agonises over her deeds enough to get herself into trouble and coming to terms with what she is - that is really the true start of this tale.With the introduction of a second indomitable warrior, Anlon, the story picks up. Anlon faces similar problems and temptations to Aleena, but solves them in a different way, embracing the dark side, and it is the relationship between these two that gives Triad its strength. The story is essentially good versus evil, and evil is equated to weakness of character. The battles, and there are many, are rendered in a graphic manner with gouts of blood, splitting skulls and spilled entrails, though somehow there is a lack of feeling in them that reduced them to a mechanical account of slaughter.The middle and end sections of the tale were stronger than the beginning. In the end I did want to find out what happened to the characters. Anlon and Aleena are flesh and blood enough to hold the reader's interest, though the whole books seemed overwritten to a greater or lesser extent.This has all the hallmarks of a first book. It seems as though the writer was learning his trade as he went, and because of this the first hundred pages are a barrier of sorts between the reader and the story. It would be greatly improved if the author went back and rewrote them.The numerous quotes that adorn the chapter headings do not serve the story. It's almost as though they are trying to persuade you that there is more to the story than the story, and there isn't. The morality of the tale is quite simplistic. The quotes are unnecessary.There are a number of anachronistic phrases that jar - such as 'self-destruct mechanism', which frankly sounds more sci-fi than fantasy.In summary I think this book will be enjoyed by some. The plot is strong and coherent, the leading characters are well conceived, but the supporting cast and the lack of eloquence in the writing rob it of the impact it might have had.

The combination of the three form a triad that can either be something great or create chaos By Frank Scozzari Warriors and sorcerers compete in TRIAD, a compelling new dark fantasy novel by Guy Estes.Aleena, Anlon & Baezha are rivals; each hugely gifted and hugely flawed in character (though if you search hard enough you will find some redeeming qualities). The combination of the three form a triad that can either be something great or create chaos, the later of which seems more likely.Guy Estes weaves a battle-filled tale in an imaginary world that becomes vividly real, and bloody, as the pages turn. There is high adventure and deadly encounters—likened to an Xbox game come true. The intensity of the rivalry between the main characters builds with each chapter, bringing to a crescendo a slashing finale which leaves wondering what could be worse. First in the 'Sisters of the Storm' Book series, the author fills the reader’s imagination and leaves plenty of room for more in the next in the series.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A well-paced gladiatorial spectacle By JayG As a traditional fantasy hack-and-slash, this is well written, fast-paced fayre. The central characters are well rounded, the story is thoughtfully structured and it builds towards a strong denouement. The setting is complex and believable - the townsfolk, the different nations and their respective mythologies - and the scenes with the protagonist's family and school teacher are especially well realised. The love and tender warmth of Aleena's family are convincingly depicted and they work well within the overall structure because they provide some much-needed respite from the many 'meat grinder' episodes that occur throughout the novel. Bloodbaths aren't really my thing but the visceral descriptions are likely to impress and entertain all those lovers of sword-swinging adventure who like to follow the choreography of each fight; to know where every blow lands and with what effect. The reader is certainly granted a front row seat for this bloody, gladiatorial spectacle.Where, for me, Triad didn't work quite so well was with respect to its philosophical aspirations. In part, it seeks to present itself as an examination of the ethical aspects of killing but, for me, the use of two-dimensional enemies (such as the unrelentingly evil slaver-rapists) made the book's moral analyses difficult to apply to the real world. Seeking to add a bit of depth to the fantasy genre is a very laudable thing - and full points here for making the attempt - but I wasn't comfortable that this story sometimes seemed to want to raise moral questions and then also to answer them on the reader's behalf.However, this is to overstate a personal niggle with a novel that many readers will surely enjoy. There is no such two-dimensionality to the central characters and the primary nemesis is generally believable, delivered with a back-story in which it is possible to trace the origins of his fall. This complexity - the understanding of his conflicting motivations and his underlying, flawed humanity - makes the final showdown that much more meaningful and compelling.The novel is very readable and well presented and the fact that that it leaves room for a sequel will come as welcome news to many fans of guts-and-all swords and sorcery.
