An Autumn War by Daniel Abraham
5.0
This series just keeps getting better.
The Galts have found a way to get rid of the andat, the god-like creatures that are basically incarnated ideas. And they've decided to destroy the poets, their school, their books, and even the cities of the Khaiate so they can never embody andat again. And there's a good chance they'll succeed.
Pitched against this army are Otah, the leader of the city of Machi, the poets Maati and Cehmai, and Otah's family and friends. They have no real army. The poets are months or years away from embodying another andat. The situation looks hopeless.
I was really anxious through the last quarter of this book! I was worried about what would happen with these characters we've known through three books. And then when I thought I had a feel for where the story was going, Daniel Abraham surprised me. I won't spoil anything here. It's too good.
This one's going to be hard to top. But it'll be interesting to see where the story goes.
I was already a big fan of Daniel Abraham. This just solidifies my regard for him as a writer. Well done, sir.
