Valor

4.5 ⭐️

This book was way heavier then the first one and took our heroes and villains in directions that I didn't always expect.

We saw the old characters we loved and got to meet and follow some new ones. I did enjoy reading it, though some moments, particularly relating to Fidele and Maquin, were honestly difficult to read. And I have to give it to John Gwynne, he knows how to make me hate a villain with a burning passion. At one point I had to put the book down and pace a little bit. Well done!

If I have one complaint, it's that in my opinion, some of the chapters could've been cut. I can understand what the author was trying to build with them, but he could've done that in the course of other scenes by adding the needed dialog there.

At the end, the book delivered and I am so looking forward to seeing what happens next. Though to be honest, I am also scared for what the author will do to the characters I have grown to love.
