Wrath (The Faithful and the Fallen, #4)
Wrath by John Gwynne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Masterpiece.
Mark my words, if this series ever gets adapted into a television series with the same production value given to Game of Thrones, it will create a myriad of fan bases all over the world. Watch out George R. R. Martin, while you’re waiting for the breeze from the Winds of Winter to come, John Gwynne has appeared out of nowhere and he has conquered the genre; the apprentice has become the master.
Wrath is, in my opinion, the best out of the four books in the series, which means the series always got better with each installment and with its completion I’ve decided to include John in my list of favorite authors of all time. That makes him one of my very few auto-buy authors; along with Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie, I’ll be content with buying every book they write.
“It will be a dark day, a bloody day, a proud day, for this is the day of our wrath.”
I’ll start off my review with two simple questions.
1. Does this series provide something new to the genre?
No, almost every single plot device here has been done before.
2. Is it good?
No, good is a really huge understatement. It’s damn near perfection for its genre. …
