A fantastic book and a fantastic end to the series.

The whole series reads like a thriller dragging you kicking and screaming through it.

What a conclusion. The end of the God-War. The end of a new favorite series. It was emotional, tense, chaotic, and yet heartwarming. It was incredibly satisfying. I'm so happy that I've read The Faithful and The Fallen, and you should to.

"Truth and Courage."

John Gwynne is the best fantasy author writing now, period. I absolutely love this series and his follow up series. His pacing, characters, and storytelling are simply sublime. I will read everything he publishes. My favorite fantasy author of all time.

Brilliant end to this series of epic classic fantasy. The set up of thevfirst three books pay off in here! There are amazing battle scenes, many emotional moments as the characters head towards their end goal. Not everyone can survive TRUTH AND COURAGE!!!
I love these characters it has been so much fun being with them seeing the change and growth. I am still processing and not ready to leave the banished lands.
