Tower Lord by Anthony Ryan
5.0
Don't Believe All The Naysayers
This was a great book! Tower Lord is very well written and the pacing is perfect. All these negative reviews are just upset that the narrative has been expanded to include more characters than just Vaelin. Yes...This includes strong female characters who kick some butt. Why so many complain about then is beyond me because they are excellent additions to the novel. This story is more mature and more tightly woven than Blood Song. The glimpses at the Ally come through his minions and the future of the Realm is in doubt. There are great twists and outstanding plot arcs to be found. If all you want is Vaelin's tale then you may be disappointed. If you want a tightly woven fantasy with great characters and brutal battles, Tower Lord is for you.
