Description

Shortlisted for the 2016 David Gemmell Legend Award for Best Novel.

The third in The Faithful and the Fallen series, Ruin by John Gwynne continues the gripping battle of good vs evil.

The Banished Lands are engulfed in war and chaos. The cunning Queen Rhin has conquered the west and High King Nathair has the cauldron, most powerful of the seven treasures. At his back stands the scheming Calidus and a warband of the Kadoshim, dread demons of the Otherworld. They plan to bring Asroth and his host of the Fallen into the world of flesh, but to do so they need the seven treasures. Nathair has been deceived but now he knows the truth. He has choices to make; choices that will determine the fate of the Banished Lands.

Elsewhere the flame of resistance is growing - Queen Edana finds allies in the swamps of Ardan. Maquin is loose in Tenebral, hunted by Lykos and his corsairs. Here he will witness the birth of a rebellion in Nathair's own realm.

Corban has been swept along by the tide of war. He has suffered, lost loved ones, sought only safety from the darkness. But he will run no more. He has seen the face of evil and he has set his will to fight it. The question is, how? With a disparate band gathered about him - his family, friends, giants, fanatical warriors, an angel and a talking crow - he begins the journey to Drassil, the fabled fortress hidden deep in the heart of Forn Forest. For in Drassil lies the spear of Skald, one of the seven treasures, and here it is prophesied that the Bright Star will stand against the Black Sun.

Ganz nach dem Motto: "Der Weg ist das Ziel."

Die erste Hälfte zieht sich leider wieder sehr, danach kommt langsam Fahrt auf. Viele Charaktere durchleben spannende Situationen und das Ende lässt einen kopfschüttelnd und mit einem riesigen Cliffhanger zurück.

!!!!!OMG!OMG!OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In one word: EPIC. I don't know how people coped with that ending, waiting for the last book must have been torture! This series just keeps getting better and better, and also darker. Some of these plot twists I didn't see coming at all. I stayed up until 3am to finish this book so that is a good indicator of my enjoyment and obsession with the characters and plot. Also, I'm getting low level Supernatural season 4&5 feels with the whole angels and demons plot, is that just me? Yes? Ok then. That's a good thing though lol
