About this listen

WAR MAKES MONSTERS OF EVERYONE.

Foolish Cur, once named Wen Alder, finds that his allies in the rebellion might cross any line if it means freedom from the Empire. But he can't overcome a foe as strong as Emperor Tenet alone.

REBELLION HAS UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.

Koro Ha, Foolish Cur's former tutor, discovers the Empire is not so forgiving of those who raise a traitor. And their suspicion may cost him and his people more than he can imagine.

THE GODS ARE LURKING IN THE SHADOWS.

As war against the Empire rages, Foolish Cur knows there is a greater threat. The emperor plans his own coup against the gods, and they will wreak destruction if he tries. To stop him, Foolish Cur might have to risk everything - and resort to ancient magics that could tear the world apart.

This is perfect for fans of Robin Hobb and Shelley Parker-Chan.

I really enjoyed the book overall however I feel like it's heading to much in the direction a lot of other books go where they make the scale of the threat far bigger and therefore leaves us with a book where we don't know the direction of story anymore .

I was more that happy with the previous book but this one makes me feel like I've been a bit robbed of what could have been as basically the whole world with interesting world building has been thrown out the window in exchange for another world ending cataclysm

Good but not as Great as the first
