About this listen

As the gripping epic from the author of Sword of the North continues, the Grim Company must battle a dangerous new enemy that is determined to destroy all of humanity.

In the City of Towers, former rebel Sasha and her comrade Davarus Cole struggle to keep the peace between the warring mages who vie for dominion. But when the White Lady sends Davarus south to the Shattered Realms to seek allies among the fallen kingdoms, he finds that his hardest battle may be one fought within. The godly essence now residing within him offers power that could be used against the Fade - but with every death that feeds It, Cole risks losing a part of himself. An association with a Fade officer grants the Halfmage Eremul a position of privilege among Dorminia's new masters. He witnesses firsthand the fate that awaits humanity. But with his magic pitiful in the face of the Fade's advanced technology, the Halfmage must rely on his wits alone to save whom he can. And in the frozen north, the legendary warrior Brodar Kayne fights a desperate battle for his people. He is running out of time: an ancient evil sealed beneath the mountains is about to break free, an evil that is older than humanity, older than the Fade, older even than the gods - and it will not stop until the entire world is drowned in blood.

I loved this trilogy. Best trilogy since Abercrombie's first law. I was a little worried with the first book but quickly fell in love with characters. I hope he continues to write another trilogy!

This was a great series, if you a fan of Joe Abercrombie, you will enjoy this series by Luke Skull.

Great Series

This book, this trilogy has filled a hole in me left by “The blade itself.”

It has all the things that make a story good and meaningful. It is the polar opposite of what main stream media has become; watered down, meaningless, repetitive plots.

This trilogy was grim, dark, captivating, and utterly amazing.

Would you try another book from Luke Scull and/or Gerard Doyle?

I will not read a book that continues this story. I may try another book by Scull in hopes that he finds his own footing and stays away from the formula-style writing. I would definitely listen to another book read by Doyle.

What was most disappointing about Luke Scull’s story?

What was most disappointing was that he included everything imaginable in this story. It was just too much. What was equally disappointing is that some of what he did seems to be influenced by George R. R. Martin, but without any real depth to it so it just comes off making me feel like I wasted my time getting to know the characters.. I can't explain without giving major spoilers.

Any additional comments?

I think this would have been a better story had Scull written it as a duology and left out a lot of the formula.

Everything, plus the kitchen sink

The first two books in this series were good, I enjoyed them, but this book was garbage. The author introduced more story lines in this book than he had in the other two combined, finished vert few of them, and obviously struggled to end the story in any way that makes sense. I'm sick of authors trying to compete with JRR Martin. Knock it off, Martin is a dick, and killing off more than half the characters you have developed doesn't make for better reading, it makes you a dick too!

wtf

It was okay. I kept with the series because of the narrator. The dialog between the characters and inner character thoughts were sometimes too hard to listen.

I Wanted to Like it

A thoroughly ok book, but all the separate plot threads just don't come together satisfactorily. The good characters continue to be good, meh characters continue to be meh.

Can't stick the grim dark landing like Abercrombie
