Strong hold ( Dragon Star book 1)
By Melanie Rawn

A generation of peace is about to be shattered as a seemingly unstoppable invasion force lays siege to High Prince Rohan's realm. For Andry, the Sunrunner Lord, the invasion is a fulfilment of his long-ago visions of disaster to come. This is the first book in the "Dragon Star" trilogy.

This was a bit meh for me after the catch up and then the initial excitement of the war it got a bit tedious in the middle but ended strongly. I think the next few books are definitely a must read so I’ll keep going!

I was going to start this by claiming this was the middle of the Mad Max trilogy, but I had temporarily forgotten about Fury Road.

Perhaps it's better to say this is the middle of the Mel Gibson era of Mad Max films.

It's also hard to believe that this is nearly 40 years old now, holding up remarkably well for its age. That, I think, is probably due to its reliance on practical effects for most of the scenes of vehicular mayhem that occur throughout (in the post apocalyptic wasteland) rather than CGI.

In my books, this is definitely a step up from the first movie.
