In the Name of Honor by Clarke Collins, Courtney Collins

4.0

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of In the Name of Honor by Courtney Collins & Clarke Collins.

Honestly, this book was delightful! My brain couldn’t help but lightly compare it to The Fellowship of the Ring by Tolkien. The descriptions throughout the book fully transported my imagination to vividly see the world and the characters as they went along their journey.

The story is told from multiple points of view, which felt seamlessly done and benefited the reader for a deeper understanding of the story.

If this book was double in size I would have stayed in the world as long as I was allowed to. This book could easily be enjoyed as a standalone but personally, I’m looking forward to the second book in the Vows & Valor series expected Jan. 2026.

Themes present in this story include:
- Change and grow characters
- Inclusive storytelling
- A love story that you get to see gently grow and blossom
- LGBTQ+ representation in an enjoyable capacity
- Magic / Elves / Dragons / Other creative species
- Fighting and war scenes
