A review by 2treads
The Blind King's Wrath by Ashok K. Banker

dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

I enjoyed this last installment in the Burnt Empire Saga. Banker tied off the plotlines from the first and second book. But there were missteps in this one as well: there were too many instances of telling instead of showing, having bloated exposition that really dragged the story for me, having decisions and thought patterns that made no sense, and again focusing too much on his male characters(I can't stand that).

It is a good series, there is just so much that could have been  cut and condensed.
