Tales of Solomon Pace

They say every villain is a hero of his own story and after listening to Echoes of a Storm I was curious about Solomon Pace, the clever villainous villain who despite being able to crush bones and rip people's hearts out with a thought still spent so much time and energy behind the curtain, manipulating entire kingdoms to suit his machiavellian and mysterious agenda.

I was not disappointed. With each story we learn a little bit more about Solomon and how he became the way he did. Some tales are dark and humorous, others are brutal and thought provoking, all working together to bring this character to life and let us glimpse into the grand scheme of things at work in this grim world of monsters.

The narration improved considerably since Echoes and worked well with the characters and tone of the stories.

I recommend this to any fan of dark fantasy who is not easily offended and appreciates unapologetically flawed characters.
