The Fires of Vengeance by Evan Winter

4.75

Truly a marvel of a book and I’m so glad I held off on starting this series because the wait for the third already seems daunting enough.

What I liked:

• Characters beyond Tau becoming more realised.
• All the women.
• Tsiora vs Esi and how despite Tsiora actually supporting the oppressed peoples, her sister is the one pinned beneath her within their relationship.
• Glimpses into the destruction that Tau has brought to the people around him and beyond.
• Tau and Kana parallels.

What frustrated me:

• Whilst Tau being this impossible force is captivating, the constant injuries that never seem to truly hamper his ability are a touch too far for me.
• There are more small moments to take a breath than its predecessor but I would still take a few slower sections.
