The end of another The Banished Lands-saga I thoroughly enjoyed. Loads of action, loads of "Oh no"-moments and an ending that leaves an opening for more books in The Banished Lands!
Truth and Courage!!

BookTube channel with my awesome brother, Ed - The Brothers Gwynne

Read A Time of Courage again as part of The Brothers Gwynne read-along! Made it a little different though as I listened to it via audiobook format for the first time. Damian Lynch is a fantastic narrator!
A Time of Courage is just up there with one of the best conclusions to a fantasy series... EVER. It has everything you need. The gathering of forces, the different PoV's stumbling across each other, twists and turns, and a grand showdown that gives you what you want, but still surprises you along the way. Papa Gwynne makes it so epic, but keeps the heart at the focus. It is an intimate story as well as a grand one. It just blows me away how he moves me so much with every single book.

This series was so amazing, I haven't read a fantasy series this great in a long time. The pacing is excellent, the characters are well thought out and compelling, and the battle scenes are the best I've ever read. I'm very sad that this is the end, but there's always hope that we may get to return to the Banished Lands, and I have the Faithful & the Fallen series to read. 100% recommend to anyone who likes fast-paced fantasy.
A masterful and epic conclusion. A Time of Courage is the perfect finale to the Banished Lands saga, pulling the Of Blood and Bone trilogy together and sticking the landing with absolute precision. This book quickly earned its spot on my favorites list. The last 150-200 pages consumed me—John Gwynne knows how to end a series on a high note.
Gwynne has outdone himself with this one. A Time of Courage improves on the first two books of this trilogy in every way. The entire cast of characters converges, and the situation for our heroes becomes increasingly dire. The stakes are enormous. Rivals clash, duels we’ve been eagerly anticipating are fought, battles are waged, and emotional twists and turns keep the excitement levels high. It’s all masterfully executed in a conclusion that’s both satisfying and impactful. This is another job well done by an author who continues to prove he’s one of the best in the genre.
I can’t help but pray that The Faithful and the Fallen and Of Blood and Bone are adapted for the big screen. These seven books, culminating in this epic finale, would make a jaw-dropping television series. My time in the Banished Lands has been unforgettable, and I’m grateful that John Gwynne decided to pick up his pen and take us on this journey. I had an absolute blast and hope to one day reread these books. From Corban and Storm to Drem and Friend, what an incredible journey full of TRUTH AND COURAGE!
