pickI loved this as much as the first in the series. The audio reader is outstanding and comes up with a perfect, unique style for each character. Themes include the consequences of self-serving or incompetant commanders calling the shots during war and what it means to be a "good person." Our main characters are scattered, all in some way dealing with various fronts of the raging war. Brutal, bloody, and sprinklered with wonderfully dark humor.
I haven‘t made it thru this trilogy yet … I lovvved Red Queen‘s War and this one is a runner up to that!

Alas, I‘m gonna bail on THE TYRANNY OF FAITH at 32%. It‘s the right book for a plot-driven reader, or for one who really connects with the characters, but it‘s the wrong book for me. I‘m bored and frustrated more often than I‘m entertained, and I feel like certain of Swan‘s storytelling decisions destroy the tension. If I had stronger emotions about these characters, I‘d probably have the opposite take. Since I don‘t, I‘m out. 😔
I love me some grimdark fantasy. And this one here? Alllllll the trigger warnings. Prince Jorg is a true sociopath and anti-hero, but it‘s satisfying to see him kick through every chivalric convention in search of vengeance. As long as he doesn‘t hurt any dogs, I‘ll keep reading.

Grimdark series with betrayal, hatred, black humor, and a ton of flawed characters. The black humor is the draw for me.

"Hero. The word slithered nastily in his mind. An honour bestowed upon you when you had killed all those who would have called you a mass murderer."
Only a couple pages in, but this quote makes me think I'm going to really like this book.
