The Broken God by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan
5.0

The Black Iron Legacy is one of my favorite fantasy series and you always wonder what will happen as each book is full of surprises, new places and characters, and new horrors.
We get to discover new places , new gods and to learn what's happening in the life of the main characters.
My expectations for this book were very high and i can say I wasn't disappointed as I turned pages as fast as I could.
Spar, the man who became a city, is my favorite one and we follow his struggle to choose if reaming human or becoming a god. There's a lot of changes in this story and I was left wondering what will be next.
We follow Cari and we met people from her past and visit new places.
Rache is a sort of villain as we follow his descent into madness.
There are some images that reminded of me of Hyeronimus Bosch's The Garden of Delights. and I think that Gareth Hanrahan is one of the most visionary author in the fantasy field.
This books is well written and gripping, the world building is breath taking and the character development excellent.
I thought this was going to be the last in the series but I discovered that are some more. I'm more than happy because I want more places, more characters and more vision.
A gripping and highly entertaining book, strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Orbit and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
