Warriorborn
Warriorborn: A Cinder Spires Novella | Jim Butcher
2 posts | 3 read
From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Dresden Files comes an all-new, action-packed fantasy adventure set in the Cinder Spires universe. Benedict Sorellin-Lancaster hasn't even broken in his lieutenant's insignia when he's summoned to meet with the Spirearch of Spire Albion himself for a very special-and very secret-purpose. The Spirearch needs Benedict to retrieve a bag he's "misplaced" on the Colony Spire known as Dependence, which has strangely cut off all contact with the outside world. It's a delicate mission at best, a potential bloodbath at worst. To this end, the Spirearch has supplied Benedict with backup in the form of three Warriorborn. But unlike the courageous lieutenant, this trio has formerly used its special gifts for crime, carnage, and outright bloody murder. And all of them were caught and imprisoned because of Benedict. Now, if they behave-and make it back alive-they'll go free. But when the odd squad reaches Dependence, they soon discover something waiting for them: a horrific weapon that could shatter the balance of power among the Spires. And Benedict will have to bring his own Warriorborn skills to bear if he, his team, and Spire Albion are to have any hope of survival . . .

The novella was slightly better than the first book.

julesG The cover should have been a huge giveaway - name of author larger than title of book. 🙈🙈🙈 #petpeeve 12mo
TheSpineView Disappointing. Hope the next one is better 12mo

The first book in this series was released in September 2015. I think sometime between then and now there was some legal wrangling that kept any more books in the series from being published. But don‘t hold me to that because I could be remembering it wrong. But in September 2023 this novella was released and in November there will be a complete novel. Benedict is one of my favorite characters and he is the focus of this fast-paced story.

julesG The first two are about to be re-published (in the UK at least). 13mo
CatLass007 @julesG I know that The Aeronaut‘s Windlass is being released with new cover art. There are some beautiful covers out there but they‘re all starting to look the same, so now I‘m getting bored with them. Warriorborn is book 1.5 and was first published in September of this year. Book 2, The Olympian Affair, will receive its first publication in November of this year and I‘ve already reserved my copy with Audible. This is all in the US. 13mo
julesG I was lucky to snatch The Aeronaut's Windlass and The Olympian Affair on NetGalley UK. Thought Warriorborn was 2.5. 13mo
