Publisher's summary

In A Time of Courage, angels, demons and heroes face the ultimate fight for the Banished Lands. This is the epic conclusion to John Gwynne's mighty trilogy: Of Blood and Bone.

Battle the dark. Reclaim the world....

The King of the Otherworld is finally free. Armed with fearsome new starstone weapons, Asroth prepares to lead his demonic war-host south. And with the help of his bride, Fritha, he plans to crush the warrior-angels and their allies for good.

In the shadows of Forn Forest, Riv and the surviving Ben-Elim hold a war council ­­– desperate to unite those who would stand against Asroth and his army. They decide to fly west, to join the Order of the Bright Star. But Drem and the Order are already under siege by a demon horde and their fragile defences may soon shatter.

Across the Banished Lands, armies are gathering to settle ancient grudges and decide the fate of humanity. Drem, Riv and the Bright Star’s warriors will need to call on all their courage as they face the final battle. But will it be enough, as their darkest hour draws near?

Decent, but over-serious and a bit ridiculous

I enjoyed this series overall, but this last volume reaaaaally dragged. The repetitiveness of the battle descriptions and the cartoonish morality (genocidal good guys vs genocidal bad guys) really started to show well before the end. For a world involving talking crows, magic Frankenstein creations, and lizard- and bear-riding giants, the story was pretty humorless and took itself far too seriously. That said, the author does his homework when it comes to the mundane details of medieval-ish warfare. Not the worst.

The way to end an epic

Not since David Gemmell have I loved characters so much. This is an epic story!
