March 04, 2008: As you begin to read For Honor, you will quickly become transfixed by a story that invites completion. As the plot unfolds, don?t be surprised if you are caught up in its many unexpected twists and turns, shifting scenes, and bone chilling adventures, and even find yourself perched at the edge of your seat, unblinking, until you turn that very last page. Kat Jaske skillfully develops each of her characters through their unique responses to the events that surround them. From the brooding Aramis, conflicted over his desire to enter the priesthood, to the boisterous, long winded Pothos, from love stricken D?Artagnan, to headstrong, clever Laurel, not one of these characters presents as an idealized, story book personality. Each has easily recognizable flaws. But those united by their common quest for honor and service to the king are forced into sometimes heart wrenching decisions that create a memorable read. The plot line is cleverly developed the characters are believable and have very distinct and enjoyable personalities, and her use of language is so fitting for the period, but not forced. Watch this author. She is a true talent, capable of transporting her readers back in time and place. In so doing, Kat Jaske helps us reflect on our modern world of sound bites and instant gratification. Perhaps For Honor will inspire some of its readers to reach for that higher moral ground. Lois W. Stern Author of SEX, LIES AND COSMETIC SURGERY
