Wow! Epic fantasy at its best.
Strong characters, battles, rebels, strange goings on, baddies: this book has everything. It’s a chunkster but keeps you drawn in and unable to stop - no second book syndrome.
Set three years after the events of the first book, our heroes are waiting for the uprising when word of a strange weapon reaches them…
This features some lovely twisty moments and a subtle humour. Grub is fantastic, constantly coming out with one-liners: “Grub like going for drink with Mudslug. More dangerous than expected”. He’s definitely a favourite.
I was late starting and missed finishing before the release date which meant I could purchase the audiobook which is excellently narrated
Despite being 800+ pages, I finished in a week. I shed tears too, there are battles. I need the next one now.
Thanks to Netgalley and Gollancz for an E-arc in return for an honest review.
