Fantasy Epic Fantasy Gore War Death Many thanks to Orbit for a review copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This review may contain spoilers for the first two books. I spent something like 1,500 pages fretting over these characters, and let me tell […]
Oh hai. Is this where I put the caveat that, normally, I’m not a huge fan of epic fantasy? Because I’m not. Or I haven’t been. Lately, I’ve been trying to give things another go rather than writing them off, so here we are. John Gwynne’s The Faithful and the Fallen has been recommended to […]
