"Rogues of the Crosslands: Azoria's Blade by John Daze is an enthralling tale that traces the path of Azoria, a young elven girl thrust into a world of chaos when her peaceful village falls prey to marauding orcs. Fueled by an unwavering desire for revenge, Azoria embarks on a daring journey, armed with her mother's small sword and her rage, venturing into the perilous Crosslands -- a lawless realm inhabited by thieves, tricksters, and bloodthirst. Amidst this chaos, she forges unexpected alliances and unravels the secrets of her lineage. But the question remains: is twelve-year-old Azoria too young to wield the blade and rescue her people? This action-packed book is a must-read, promising a gripping adventure you won't want to miss."

"John Daze's book masterfully weaves themes of fantasy and revenge, making it an excellent choice for young adult readers seeking an immersive and imaginative experience. Throughout the story, Azoria's evolution intertwines with her relationships, particularly her interactions with Jander and Razzle, which are engaging and beautifully encapsulates the book's emotional depth. One of the strengths of this book lies in its portrayal of Azoria as a relatable and imperfect heroine. She is young, rash, and short-tempered. Her rage and struggles make her a character that readers can root for, and her personal growth is a central theme that resonates throughout the narrative. It's is a compelling tale that will leave teen and young adult readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in this series. This book is not only an exciting adventure but also a thought-provoking exploration of themes like family, addiction, and personal growth.
Rogues of the Crosslands is a straightforward coming-of-age story. The narrative is fast-paced, and the main events unfold from the beginning. John Daze offers us solid, well-developed world-building and interesting mythology. The author avoids tiring his readers with overwhelming details. Rogues of the Crosslands is a quick and smooth read. The characters are relatable and realistic and touch on the meaningful themes of duty, a feeling of belonging, and self-realization."
