It’s been nearly four years since I read Priest of Bones and it surprised me as I wasn’t a fan of grimdark fantasy.
Thomas Piety, Bloody Anne, and all the flawed characters who can be lovely or be involved in the most heinous acts. They’re all strong characters and you cannot help to root for Thomas even if you wouldn’t be happy to meet him in real life.
So this is the end of this series and I cried my good byes, was surprised by the twists, and felt for the characters.
It started as a sort of gangster story (sort of fantasy Goodfella) and it became more political intrigue showing us that gangsters and political plays shares more a lot of common traits.
This is the best book in the series, a page turner that I couldn’t stop reading, and I think that Peter McLean storytelling went from very to excellent.
The world building, the character and plot development are great and I was thinking of reading again the entire series.
If you never read any book in the War for the Rose Throne please start and you will surely love this series.
On my side I strongly recommend this book and the entire series.
Many thanks to Jo Fletcher Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
