 ... misplaced here as Ruckley once again unleashes a superbly rich and complex fantasy novel. As with any middle book in a trilogy it benefits massively from not needing to do too much scene setting and as a result we are thrust instantly into a World of war, assasination and political intrigue.

Products similar to Bloodheir - Brian Ruckley

Tense, atmospheric, compellingly written Dialogue feels slightly stuffy in places

Great detail

Fascinating, compelling, staggeringly detailed Too serious

Thousands of years of history is a small volume! Difficult prose at times, lacks the genius of JRR to flesh out the stories

A vast amount of horror is examined. There are a lot of spoilers, and King's style really grates after a while.
