brunovasconcelos 's review for:

The Darkness That Comes Before by R. Scott Bakker
5.0

What an outstanding book. If it continues like this, the series has the potential to make it into my top 3 and stay there.
It really feels like the first book of a long series; everything revolves around this convergence at the Holy War, and the tension keeps building.
Amazing universe, absolutely top-tier characters, and world-class prose (though as a non-native speaker, I found it quite challenging to read in English).
I can’t wait for the upcoming books
