The Radiant King by David Dalglish
4.0
David Dalglish’s "The Radiant King" is a story that follows six immortal siblings, basically demigods, who’ve sworn off ruling the world after nearly destroying it, only for one of them, Eder, to break the pact and start a holy war. What follows is betrayal, brutal battles, and a tangled web of alliances as the other siblings scramble to stop him.
The worldbuilding is layered, with Dalglish blending dark fantasy and politics. The characters are memorable, each wrestling with the burden of immortality and their own moral compasses. The action is visceral and creative.
That said, I did feel the pacing occasionally stuttered, especially in the middle. The tone is unrelentingly grim at times, which won’t be for everyone, but if you like your fantasy dark and bloody, you’ll be right at home.
