Official Review: The Three-Headed Dagger and The King's Son
The Three-Headed Dagger and The King's Son is a fast-paced fantasy installment authored by Henry Regnault. Although it is second in the series, it takes nothing away from the story as the book seems to work flawlessly as a standalone. This action-packed and comic tale is meant to enchant dark fantasy lovers.
Five years have passed since the death of Jenny’s father, Christopher, and her uncle, Cadence. She had powers released upon her by her dad and uncle. Nevertheless, she is in no position to manage them without tutelage. Therefore, Graves and Meadow have moved in with Jenny with the motive of training her how to use a sword and gun. Furthermore, the two will prepare her in the ways of channeling her inner powers. Since uncle Cadence was a demon hunter, he gained several enemies until his death. Having bestowed his (Cadence) powers upon Jenny places her in the utmost jeopardy. Will uncle Cadence’s enemies hunt Jenny to death? Better still, will they steal her soul?
There are numerous aspects to appreciate about this intrigue. To begin with, the author has gone beyond the domain of human reality to deliver such a compelling piece. The characters are so diverse that I found myself smiling at illustrations on some pages. For instance, Jenny has powers; Meadow is a witch, Silas can fly, and the monsters can slice a human into two using their sharp teeth. Additionally, there were instances of erotic scenes as the story developed, which spiced up the context in which they were utilized. Unpredictably, I found myself sighing in relief at the success of some macabre missions.
On the contrary, there are a few things I detested. Firstly, some ghoulish expositions went over my head. In chapter two, for instance, the illustrations of the monster’s gross pungent mouth and how slime was dripping off its body was just off-putting! Do not read this volume while having a meal, drink, or dessert; this may corrupt your appreciation of the tale. Another aspect I disdained was the lack of page numbering in the EPUB version; it is difficult to keep track of the pages for the sake of reference for a later date. As a result of the above points, I rate the book 3 out of 4 stars.
I did not detect a single typo; therefore, I can affirm the book was well edited. The author has employed profound elucidations of profanity, massacre, and violence. As a result, this installment is not recommendable to children below the age of 18 years. In some instances, the gory scenes were so vivid that I could nearly smell the blood splits. I recommend this work to audiences who fancy reading dark fantasy novels.

The book does not have such a dark plot; murder, gory scenes, gods etc.NetMassimo wrote: ↑20 Jan 2021, 08:25 This really seems like an intriguing dark fantasy novel with well-developed characters.

Sounds like a good getaway book.
