![]() ![]() You get to see whole new swathes of this world that Jenn Lyons has built but you also see the minute human interactions that take place. ![]() What I will say is I think this book managed to be epic in scale while still keeping things very human. ![]() I obviously can’t get to into the ins and outs of the plot because it’s book three in a trilogy so it’s a minefield of spoilers to navigate. *I know book two has a complex narrative structure as well I just think book one had it a bit more. It has the intense plot with many different narrative strands that I enjoyed in book one* while also having the humour and…snark that book two had – and then some.

Well, in this case I think it depends. Worse, Kihrin must come to terms with the horrifying possibility that his connection to the king of demons, Vol Karoth, is growing steadily in strength. To buy time for humanity, Kihrin needs to convince the king of the Manol vané to perform an ancient ritual which will strip the entire race of their immortality, but it’s a ritual which certain vané will do anything to prevent. Now that Relos Var’s plans have been revealed and demons are free to rampage across the empire, the fulfillment of the ancient prophecies-and the end of the world-is closer than ever. ![]()
