The Faithful and the Fallen is one of the series that I recommend the most often to every fantasy readers I know, whether it’s on Bookstagram, Booktube, Goodreads, or real life I’m going to keep on doing that, except that starting from now, Of Blood and Bone will be included. Gwynne, however, never ceased to impress me with his pure and unadulterated talent, and is one of the few authors who always did everything right for my epic fantasy craving. I can be quite petty with ratings I don’t give a lot of full five out of five stars ratings. To do a bit of comparison, neither of my two other favorite authors-Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie-earned this perfect streak. A Time of Dread marked the fifth time his work has been included in my ‘favorites of all time’ shelves together with his previous quartet, that’s five out of five books. Let it be known that Gwynne is in fact the only author on my list to earn the perfect streak of top quality achievements from me. John Gwynne has proven himself once again to be the constant harbinger of superlative epic fantasy that only the greatest of authors can achieve. Simply amazing and almost impossible to put down, A Time of Dread is truly a masterful start to a trilogy which I envision will be crowned as one of the best series I’ve ever read by its end. ARC provided by the publisher-Pan Macmillan-in exchange for an honest review.Ī Time of Dread is a work conceived in the mind of a genius.
