City of Blades by Robert Jackson Bennett

4.0

Diving back into this epic, unique world where the old gods may not be so dead as many believe, and conspiracies are primed to explode. This time the story follows impressively feisty General Mulaghesh and takes us to a new, unique setting in this one of a kind world. The story is compelling and interesting, filled with mythology, past trauma, and memorable characters that are introduced and return. The visuals are wonderfully described which made for some terrifying moments in the story. I really loved the different aspects of the mystery and how the conspiracy unfolded. I absolutely loved the mythological aspect of the story, which made for some fantastic twists and a very intense ending. Mulaghesh was a great character to follow, since she took nothing from no one. I loved the flashbacks we were given in terms of her history, which was tragic and made her a rich, layered, and sympathetic character. These books are wonderfully written and definitely one of a kind, and you don't want to miss out on them!
