Johnston once again writes an amazing epic fantasy. We follow Walker on his path post almost dieing. This black hearted bastared will make you keep the pages turning as you wonder how he will save the day again and be the Tyrant he always feared. This is a fitting ending to the story and gives a very well rounded finish for our beloved characters.
I love Edrin. He has the manners and the means of a stray dog. More flaws than clothes, a lot of bad habits and no self esteem. He is the kind of guy that people loves to hate and despise, one that would like to stay away from battles and spend the day empting glasses of ale or whisky. He is an antihero and yet..under all those scars and harsh speach there is so much more.
If you enjoyed The Traitor God you certanly have to read the second book by Cameron Johnston, I had the luck to read an advanced reader copy and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed, I loved God of Broken Things as much as I loved the first book.
Thanks for the ARC to Netgalley and Angry Robot Books.
If you were to do battle for the fate of the world with primeval parasitic mind controlling varmints who possessed elemental magic powers and were accompanied by hordes of mind controlled clan-dwellers, you might just want the tyrant magus Edrin Walker on your side. Well, maybe, if you can get used to the fact he crawls inside people's minds, warps their thoughts, and has in the not too distant past laid waste to just about everything that matters. Chosen by the college of magicians to take a ragtag band of warriors, cutthroats, thieves, and a knight with magical armor to the northern passes to head off the enemy, Walker has his hands full. And, that's before he runs into his three-eyed, soul-stealing grandma and her tame yetis. This is a full-scale action novel that pits magi against magi against parasitic monsters and if that's what you're looking for, you certainly found it.
