The book had some interesting villain and a good pace about it that makes readers want to see what’s next in store for them. Greg Keyes has, once again, showed why he is a true master of fiction series with this third book in the blockbuster Thorn and Bone series.
Although the book is a bit long (more than 2,000 pages), the author makes every chapter very intriguing for readers, just like he did in Lord of Souls.

No introduction is needed. And when it comes to their character roles, it’s easy to recognize who are the heroes and villains in the book.
