3.5
Tarazzi forces have killed Provenci’s King, making way for a new and brutal government to take over. New leader Alverez is hell bent on the destruction of Tarraz, building an army bigger than the world has ever seen and sending them to war against the foul creatures and populations of a feral enemy land.
Believed to be dead for the last 25 years the Iron Queen lies in wait, to take revenge on those who put her in her suspected grave. Striking a deal with the All Mother, a God like entity and force to be feared she dreams of revenge against all those who terrorised her land decades before.
Cavara has been betrayed by her people, left for dead after the discovery of the king far from home, she is rescued by a stranger and taken to a brighter land where she is deemed as an outcast and is suddenly on the run. She must remain hidden while putting together pieces of her past orders and coming to terms with her new life, before she faces the great feared Alberdane.
This book was very, very dense but beautifully written. Each time I picked it up, it would take a little while for my brain to catch up to the writing style but once I did it became an addiction. I would just want more. The imagery portrayed in these pages is nothing short of stunning (and terrifying as we are in a world full of God like beasts which I would NOT want to come up against). It took a little brain power to get through, but this author certainly has potential to create one heck of an epic series.
Rated 3.5 – Rounded up to 4.
