@joachim@lire.boitam.eu The first book is definitely the weakest in the series. If you liked that, I'm sure that you'll enjoy the rest of the series

@joachim@lire.boitam.eu Abercrombie's work is on my list for next year, but from what I've heard of his work I'd say that Gwynne's books are more of a classic good vs evil. He does it very well though.

@joachim@lire.boitam.eu I finished the series earlier in the month and it was my favourite of the year

The Faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwynne is the best series that I read this year.

The progression of all the characters from Malice all the way through to Wrath was exceptional. I am satisfied with all the endings within the book, even the ones that pulled on my heart strings.

Gwynne's ability to write immersive combat can also not be rivaled. It's thrilling to witness the many battles within this series and there were many times that I had to stop and take a breath after a fight.

I think that the previous book, Ruin, still is my favourite book in the series, but Wrath holds a special spot as one of the most epic finales I've ever experienced across any medium.

I highly recommend this series and am excited to continue my adventures in the Banished Lands soon.
