The Hunger of Empires: A thrilling epic fantasy of battle and adventure by R.S. Moule
4.0
I really enjoyed the first book in the Erland saga and was truly looking forward to book 2. Again, this is a fantastic, fast paced and gripping fantasy saga.
The novel picks up just after the end of book 1 and we're following the characters as they face this new Erland in the aftermath of the devastating events at the end of the first book. Again, there are so many characters to follow, this novel reminds me of Game of Thrones. Thankfully, there was a handy reminder at the start of the novel and Moule tends to keep each chapter in a single POV which was one of the things that bugged me in the first book. The wide and varied cast of characters is built upon and I really grew to love or despise them. Orsian has become one of my firm favourites in this series, especially in the way he seems to mirror his father far more than his brother, the supposed heir to the Barrelbreaker.
The worldbuilding in this book is deep and unique, yet still rather easy to follow. I loved how it was developed in this book from the first. The fast pacing had me tearing through a fairly long book
This was a fantastic addition to the series. I'm anxiously awaiting it's conclusion.
Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publishers for providing an arc in return for an honest review.
