I think their primary path in this installment is positively rooted, so they become more sympathetic. It’s rude,” Gudvar muttered, “and would not be so brave and foolish as to insult me if those bars were not there to protect it. I do admit that shorter chapters mean a faster reading pace to me but some could've definitely been longer.

I’m so glad my GR friends recommended it to me and I will keep the praise flowing to everyone I know as well.It's frequent for the middle book in a series to be the worst one (looking at you Mistborn), but thankfully this book breaks from that trend. Any authors who include this section in their books have a bigger chance of me reading their sequel ASAP rather than putting them on a backlog until their series is completed first. I also wish that I had a big map of the world with statues of he characters that I could move along the map and see how everything come together because that’s simply how much I was submerged in the story. There are multiple extra POVs in this book, which was welcomed as they give the perspective of some of the "baddies".

This is yet another incredible book from John Gwynne, and for me cements him as the best active fantasy author. Things were happening and we had several well-executed battle scenes that kept me on the edge of my seat. Okay, incredible story and character development aside, let's talk about some of the fun settings and my favorite sequences. Debo mencionar algo que no muchos hacen y yo personalmente agradezco, este libro incluye al principio una sección de 4 o 5 páginas detallada del anterior libro.The following three books in the series - Valour, Ruin and Wrath, were all shortlisted for the David Gemmell Legend Award for Best Fantasy Novels of 2014, 2015 and 2016, with Wrath winning the 2017 BookNest Awards for Best Traditionally Published Novel. Una saga que integra continuamente elementos nórdicos de una manera tan eficiente que es para aplaudir. We travel with them as they give us some insight into the "bad guys" and what they are planning for the future of Vigrid. Orka (my fave), Varg, Elvar (a close second), Biorr, and Gudvarr set the tone and will do anything to achieve their goals in Vigrid. It may not be Abercrombie's level yet—to be fair, no one can do what Abercrombie did with Glokta—but I am pleased to see Gwynne trying out new things and making it work.
