I genuinely love David Hair’s work, so I was so happy to be allowed to read this early, so thank you to the publisher for this allowing this. Especially as it seems a long year ago when I read the first book in this fabulous trilogy
For me, this is what fantasy used to be like, back way back then. Multiple viewpoints, fantastic characters that have depth and resonance and an epic good versus evil story. As a second book in a trilogy, this is always a tricky book to navigate, as the author attempts to continue the story and themes from the first book, whilst trying to bridge and set up for the final book.

This author manages this fantastically, as the story is so alive and strong, with no weakness shown at all. Flawless fantasy and created with clear love and perfection and I simply devoured and loved this.
Now, do I really need to wait a year for the next book?
