Øyvind reviewed The Martyr by Anthony Ryan (Covenant of Steel, #2)
Alwyn Scribes adventures continues
4 stars
Where the first book did a great job introducing us to the world is first in this book that we get to see the greater mysteries of the world. Like who is the Sack witch, which role does Alwyn Scribe and Lady Evadine Courlain have in everything that happens. The story is well told, but dark and gritty. I like it better as I felt like Alwyn was more in charge of it here then in the first book the Pariah, and the world has grown on me. If you liked the first book definitively read this one, if you hated it skip this one, and if you're on the fence I'd say give this one a try I think it will surprise you.
