Seven Deaths of an Empire by G.R. Matthews
4.0
Seven Deaths of an Empire is one of best fantasy books I have ever read, right up there with The Way of Kings. This book takes many influences from different cultures and pieces of history. Namely the romans and the Greeks. I got completely lost in the story, the setting, and the characters because it was well written.
The character is the general is practiced, and disciplined while still being emotional. He is not completely stiff, or stoic - it is shown that he feels emotion, he is just disciplined enough to know when to reign his feelings in. Which is great, because I worried how stoic the character of the general would be.
I was at the mercy of this story, and cried a few times. I would highly suggest it, as it delivers on all its promises of political suspense.
Thank you sincerely to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this remarkable story. Plan on picking it up.
