Wrath The Faithful and the Fallen John Gwynne author 9781447259688 Books

Definitely a series where I couldn't put the books down. That being said, the writer definitely needs to learn 3 important things.
1.) Describe people a little better. After the series ended I still don't really know what Edana looks like. There is virtually no talk about how she looks. Same with other characters.
2. ) Love stories were so weak. Yes, I know us guys like war and adventure, etc, but....for the love of God....interject a good love story in there. Give us more of their interaction.
3.) Add some grayness. The story and characters were VERY predictable (as other reviewers can attest to). Add some mistakes, or some grayness. Add some twists (Meical twist was forced). And Camlin could have been much better, but....he went from bad guy to golden perfect hero. Ugh.

I know this sounds like I should give it a 2 star review, but....for all those issues, I still enjoyed the very "typical" story. I look forward to more from this writer as he develops.

Wrath The Faithful and the Fallen John Gwynne author 9781447259688 Books Reviews

Reading fantasy fiction is a passion I have enjoyed for almost 40 years. Throughout which I have read countless novels and dozens of series. I can not recall a series that has left me more satisfied at the conclusion than The Faithful and the Fallen. This was absolute perfection. Congratulations and thanks are due to Mr. Gwynne for completing this memorable tale.
The time is upon us. The God-War is reaching its end, moving towards its last great battle, which will decide the fate of this land, and all who dwell within it.

So, we’ve come to the end of the line with Corban and his motley warband. I can safely say that no other series I’ve ever read, EVER, has moved me to shout “Damn it!!” so many times while reading. Reading this series has been an exercise in the power of taking deep, cleansing breaths and this book was no exception. And just like last time, it’s taken me several days after finishing the book to process my feelings enough to sit down and write a review.

There’s no time lost in picking up the action from the last book. None. By the seventh page I was already nervously biting my nails. Our characters are still spread out across the banished lands and hope, having taken a beating via betrayals, disillusionment, and threats, seems a dim thing. In many ways, this is the busiest book in the series. Any character who has ever had a POV in previous books has POV chapters in this one, providing they were still alive at the end of book three, so it’s a 360 degree view of the final months in this God-War. Final choices are being offered…accepted in some cases and soundly rejected in others.

“All choose a side,” he said. “If you choose not to fight against Asroth, then you have already chosen him. Doing nothing does not absolve you of choice.”

The sides of this war are being firmed up and it’s not just the forces of good that are spread thin. Team Asroth also finds itself separated by many miles though the goal of bringing Asroth into the world as a flesh and blood being is still intact. And so it is that all heads begin to turn towards the Fortress at Drassil, which is now destined to become ground zero, and the race is on to see which side can get the upper hand first.

If you’ve read the previous books then you know what to expect. It is alliances made and broken, love and hate as driving forces, epic battles shattering bodies and emboldening souls, soft words of love and echoing battlecries, suffering torment and finding peace, enemies forged across centuries and friendships of a lifetime. It is light and dark, a hand extended and a hand snatched away, an oasis and a warzone, endings and beginnings. And it is enough.

I’d rather have been standing with my loved ones, but if this is where I die…then so be it. And let’s see who I can take with me.

It’s been one hell of a ride, this book, this series. I’ve enjoyed getting to know Corban, his family, friends, and allies. As for the rest, well, I don’t think I’ve ever rooted so hard for death before. Though it’s time to leave the Banished Lands for now, the author has a new series coming out this year that will, from my understanding, explore the long term after-effects from this God-War. I’m expecting another “Damn it!” fest.

Truth and courage, fellow readers.
three and a half stars, but I'll round up for the big effort put into these books..well done.

This entire series had me turning the page and kept me engaged throughout. I loved the build up and the plot and I would say overall this was a very good series.

I did find a few things frustrating..first, too many POV characters. I would rather have characters fleshed out more and the differing viewpoints narrowed. I didn't feel the characters ever got as fully fleshed out and real as they could have been. Then, as the book progressed more pov characters, (which almost made me close this last boo), that I could really care less about. Some of the characters and their back stories, motivations etc were so thin..I could care less and started speed reading those chapters in this book.

Now with that rather withering bit out of the way, what the author does excellent here is drive this story forward in such an engaging way that despite my lack of interest in some of the characters, the plot points and pacing kept me turning the page. Some of the main characters like Corban and Veradis were better fleshed out than others, I just wish I could have spent more time with them and..well like zero time with Rafe and a few others.

So if your into a page turning adventure, with lots of sword action and various plot points, I would recommend.
Definitely a series where I couldn't put the books down. That being said, the writer definitely needs to learn 3 important things.
