Finished
Chains of the Heretic, Book 3 of Blood Sounder's Arc. It marks the end of this trilogy and was damn impressive.
Outstanding series overall, and remains one of my favorite fantasy series so far. This is AWESOME Gritty Military Fantasy (or Grimdark) and very much along the lines of The Black Company, Mazalan Book of the Fallen, The Prince of Nothing and The Broken Empire trilogy. So if you like any one of those series mentioned, read this one!
It's dark, gritty, and holds no punches, but it delivers a delicious read from start to finish. The series only improves with the first book being the weakest (and shortest) while the second and third books really ramp up the story.
Strong, compelling characters who are interesting, an interesting magic system, gritty military life, sharp writing and a strong plot all wrapped around with some serious hard action.
IF you have not read this series (now completed) and you love gritty fantasy, grimdark, or military fantasy,
make this series your next read.
(note:
I listened to the Audiobook which I loved).
Chains of the Heretics (Book 3) was a very good conclusion (if a pretty dark one) that delivered on everything that was promised by the first two. The author can definitely write more in this interesting world, so we'll see what goes on (this trilogy wraps up the story completely though).
The series is 9/10
Chains of the Heretic: 9/10.
One of my favorite new series for sure.
