Fall of the Argosi by Sebastien de Castell
4.0
Title: "Fall of the Argosi" by Sebastien de Castell
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Summary: Ferius Parfax has ran from her home, after doing something unspeakable. She comes across a small deaf, mute boy, who only communicates through sign language. He explains an illness took over his monastery, causing them to act like zombies. Determined to bring the boy to someplace safe, Ferius travels to a small village, not realising that no where is safe from the illness, Red Scream.
*Major Spoilers*
Review: This was more what I wanted from the first book.
I enjoyed this a lot. Ferius is still young but she is trying her best to learn the Argosi ways. She meets the Path of Thorns and Roses, and learns how the Red Scream works while doing her best to look after the boy. We see Ferius develop more into who she is in the main series; it was great to see.
I really hope more will come from this because I'm enjoying it a lot. A shame Ferius and Rosie's relationship didn't blossom more, but it was still sweet when it did. Even though Rosie betrayed her but she had her reasons.
The book discusses a lot regarding words, and speech. Understanding how each word may have different meanings. It reminded me of subliminal messages; a verse being used to drive someone mad, like a sleeper agent so to speak. We get discussions of how each path works and each talent from the Argosi works.
I enjoyed the artwork again, always a highlight with the series.
