vallecillo 's review for:

Thron in Flammen: Roman by Brian Staveley
5.0

This story doesn't go down. It just continues escalating on awesomeness.

Tiny details that were mentioned on the first part start to appear and develop, some of them mindfucking you gladly.

Convergences, you so want them to happen; to see some characters meeting others, but the author knows how to keep the pace, doesn't rush and delivers when it happens.

Another thing I've loved so far of this series: There are no love arches.
No characters in love with others and wasting pages on romantic sub-plots, there has been a couple of "fuck and go" encounters but nothing resembling a romance. I admire how the author doesn't have to relay on the "romance" tool to develop a story or expand it.

Main characters become even more "grayish", bringing that humanity to them, and being easy to relate to; some may even make you hate them for their decisions and stupidity, but that's what makes a character good? doesn't it? the power to stir emotions within you against them.

Now hoping the conclusion is as good as this predecessors.
