jdepolo 's review for:
Ashes of Man
by Christopher Ruocchio
Every book in this series evokes stronger emotions than the last. Do I, as the reader, suffer from continual gut punches reading this? Absolutely. But all of them are deserved and make sense in the context of the story. Over and over again we are shown that actions have consequences and reminded of just how horrific of a monster war is.
The beautiful prose of the Suneater books also always strikes home. Every chapter is dripping with the pageantry of Empire, brought home as much by the words on the page as by the visuals they inspire. Christopher is an author who knows how to match the text with the theme, in a way that never fails.
While I have one book left in the series, with every book so far the narrative has only gotten stronger. This series has rapidly ascended to quite possibly my favorite science fiction work of all time, something that will be spoken of in future years alongside greats like Dune and Foundation.
I read this entire book in one sitting, and have rarely (if ever) felt so glued to the pages in front of me. Cannot recommend this series enough.
