I first read this one last year and I was just I was blown away by how good this thing is
the third book just stood out to me as something incredible and on to reread it really held its own as well
I feel like this is like perhaps the most underrated book of all time that certainly that I've ever read
book two in book three oh my goodness they take all of the incredible things from Epic Fantasy and blend that old school Wheel of Time type of story
on a reread I had to readjust my perspective and I ended up walking away from it going this is a better story Scott Lynch wrote a better story then than he did the first time
this is this is such a special book ... I felt like the writing here was ingenious
I read another Anthony Ryan book after this I don't remember the I think it was the Pariah was it the paria and you know I wasn't a huge fan I could feel like the writing was there
it's really a testament to how wonderful of an author that Sanderson is that he is able to find a way to write a first book that is so epic in nature
I went into the second book Tower Lord with a very open mind and I was more than disappointed I thought it was you know everything that I loved about the first book was gone
there's a reason that this book is considered one of the all-time greats in fantasy ... it's so crazy of a good book
JN Gwen writes the best battle sequences that of any author here and you know the battles that go on in Wrath and there's more than one of them are just forever iconic to me
