I have loved this series and as always when you approach the climax of a beloved series, there is a little bit of trepidation that the end will fall short in some way. I am happy to report that for me, Wrath was the perfect ending to this quartet. Battles galore, tons of intrigue, kidnappings, combat to the death, giants, magic, demons and so much more. Gwynne's writing is so accessible and his pacing is wonderful. This is a big, weighty tome (over 700 pages) and yet at no point did I feel like it dragged. On the contrary, I absolutely flew through it because the plot was so compelling. Similarly some of the characters' arcs felt completely earned. This series is very old school, with black and white heroes and villains and not very many grey areas and sometimes that's exactly what you need. Yes, nuance is wonderful, but there are times when you just need your good characters to be morally upright and this series has that nailed. All in all, this has been a pleasure to read and it is most definitely a series I can see returning to again and again. Loved it!
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is my top book of the year and one of my all time series.Loved it

Elyon above and Asroth below, THIS WAS AMAZING. I'll write more when i stop crying!

I would also like to request another book just about Craf the crow because he's my favourite.

This was the final book in The Faithful and the Fallen series and it was everything I wanted and more. This entire series focuses on a legend around the 'Black Sun' and the 'Bright Star' - the human avatars of the gods Asroth and Elyon (devil and god) - and the people living in The Banished Lands. The series follows a whole cast of characters from heroes to villains with the prime focus on Corban, a young boy who ends up on a huge journey of growing up and transformation.

There was just so much character development in this book, particularly for Corban, and I feel like we finally get to see the wonderful man he became in the journey of these books. This book is intense, entertaining, thrilling, heartbreaking and infuriating all at once and it brought me on such a huge journey of emotion. I never knew who would survive and who would perish and it left me on the edge of my seat, unable to put the book down, and crying out when some of my favourite characters got injured or killed.

The battle at the end of Wrath is probably one of the best battles I've ever read in a book. It was everything I wanted for the final battle and i loved that it didn't just last a couple of chapters but really spanned the last quarter of the book. I 100% recommend this series to anyone looking for a fantastic fantasy series to read, and I need more more more books from John Gwynne
