As exciting as ever. Graeme Rodaughan excels in keeping readers on the edge of their seats, balancing plot twists and character development from the very first page. I’m pleased to report that the stakes just keep escalating with no end in sight, and that is exactly what you want in a gripping fantasy novel. In The Day Guard, we see the introduction of several new storylines that expand the lore and world-building of the series even further. Anton Slayne continues to fight for his beliefs and t...

The Day Guard is the fourth installment in The Metaframe War series by Graeme Rodaughan, and it acts as a perfect bridge into the second story arc. Still reeling from the fallout of previous events, the Order of Thoth, the Vampire Dominion, and the Red Empire are scrambling to position their forces, each desperate to control the very fabric of reality. But there’s a catch: a new faction has entered the game—a group long thought extinct, if they were remembered at all. This book was a blend of e...

This book was a lot of fun. It wasn’t quite as action-packed as the previous installment, Dragon’s Den, but it had plenty of guts and glory. I would say The Day Guard had more of a political bent with all of the various factions going through some internal chaos and changes. The story continues very nicely with some major reveals and adds some new, and substantial wrinkles. ***Edit after third read***The characters get much deeper in this, the fourth book of the Metaframe series by Graeme Rodaug...

I would like to thank the author, Graeme Rodaughan, for providing me with an ARC of The Day Guard. Also, thanks to another buddy read with my fellow vampire-loving crew at Castle Dracula. The Day Guard is the 4th book in Graeme Rodaughan's The Metaframe War series. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite ongoing book series. Graeme continues to build upon the previous entries, adding new elements that make the story hard to predict and even harder to put down. As with the previous books, The...

Welcome to The Day Guard by Graeme Rodaughan, the fourth installment in the Metaframe War series. Whatever you thought was going to happen, think again! Cornelius Crane is back in the spotlight. No longer blinded by his own ego, Crane is gathering forces, trusting absolutely no one, and making calculated moves.
