It brings an every day life in a wonderful world to its knees and promises to excite with the war that comes… has now started, in truth. Monsters and magic (although both subtle – but not too subtle – at this point, hinting at much much more), giants and warriors galore. I can’t not.Įpic fantasy in the truest sense, both through scale of scenes and depth of characters alike.
I can’t wait to get stuck in! There were some other physical books on my TBR pile that I have on the shelf (I read ‘real’ books and eBooks side by side), but I think Valour shall jump to the top of that pile and I shall start it right away. New enemies and old all come together in what is set – I have no doubt – to be in my top three fantasy series ever. It has you guessing who will do what, who will tread what path, until… Bam! The final third is a powerhouse of action, intrigue, answers and more questions revelations, clashes of will and might and friends and foes. You fear for some, snarl at others, trust a few and narrow your eyes in distrust of one or two, at least. By half way through, to two thirds, you really feel like you know the characters. It paves the way for multiple POV’s (a single POV per chapter) and really builds each one well. The first book in this series is slow to get going, but not in a boring way. I frikkin’ loved it! How’s that? It’s the truth!
I don’t know where to start, since I’m worried I won’t do Malice or John Gwynne justice with my review.
