that does nothing to change the facts the general described, the decision he’s made, and the decision that we on the Ruling Council must also make.” “This is what you want?” Tsiora asked. “You wish us to forgive and forget treachery?” “My queen, we’re responsible for more than ourselves in this,” Mirembe said, “and to carry out the duty we owe to those we lead, we have to forgive and forget, or everyone dies.” Someone behind Tau cleared his throat. It was Hadith, and although he looked uncomfortable when the faces in the room turned to him, he didn’t wither beneath the gaze of his betters. Tau was beside Nyah and saw her signal Tsiora. The vizier didn’t want her to let Hadith speak, but Nyah’s want wasn’t enough. In the matter of Guardian Councillor Abasi Odili, Tau and the queen were cut from the same stone. They could not forget and they would never forgive. “Ihashe,” Queen Tsiora said to Hadith. “You have something to say?” The powerful, in Tau’s experience, kept seeing the loss of their desires as being world ending without ever once stopping to realize that for people like him, every day held that potential already.” owned by the publisher.

This is what I wanted from such series as Eragon by paolini and children of blood and bone by tomi Adeyemi.

Hah! Great question, and sometimes I do feel the story trying to grow beyond the constraints of its intended structure. However, I’m a hardcore structuralist and the story was always intended to be told in four parts. So, though it would be possible to go beyond four, I’m determined to maintain the balance I found and loved in my initial four-part outline. Keep fighting and I swear that before it consumes us, we’ll burn our pain to ash in the fires of vengeance.” PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Fires_of_Vengeance_-_Evan_Winter.pdf, The_Fires_of_Vengeance_-_Evan_Winter.epubI’m sorry to hear about your father’s passing... I can’t begin to imagine the grief; but I do hope that, as time goes on, your memories of him begin to bring more joy, than sorrow—from your dedication, he sounded like a great man. I took this approach because, though I’ve always read and loved fantasy, I hadn’t come across many books that existed in worlds that reflected the one in which I had existed for so long. I wanted to see the world I knew in a fantasy because there was so much beauty, energy, and life all around me at all times when I was growing up, and I couldn’t picture much that was more fantastical than that. Difference #3 I think the characterization is even stronger, especially for side characters. This book has quite a few new characters, we meet some people we barely new, and it has quite a few characters still around from book 1. Evan Winter really nails giving all his characters their own motivation and agency.

First off, I once again want to commend Karla Ortiz on the artwork she has created that adorns the covers of this series. I thought she could not top the beautiful art she did for The Rage of Dragons, but I like the cover for Fires of Vengeance even better and can honestly say that it would make me buy this book even knowing nothing about it. It’s gorgeous and I would not be lying in saying I am overly excited to see the remaining two covers! One thing I have loved about this series so far is that the character development is very believable and this continued to build throughout Fires of Vengeance. The plot also continued to expand while the pace slowed slightly, making me enjoy this one significantly more as I prefer my fantasy on the slow-side usually. The second was that this book was where I really started to feel Tau's plot armor. You can't maim a character and then have it barely slow them down in a fight! But still, I didn't care that much, since he suffered in other ways.

Was there any one scene that you were really looking forward to writing in The Fires of Vengeance? (Avoiding spoilers, of course) The worst part is, I think the story is ridiculously intriguing—what with all of the mysterious things happening behind the scenes—but this book was just too much for me. So much death, and sorrow, and loss, and practically no break. Did you not WANT the majority of people to read this more than once? Because that’s always my hope, whenever I buy one of these... that I’ll be able to go through it again, if it’s good. And this IS good... only far too bleak. For a time, one or two of the characters kept me above water—probably the simple knowledge that at least SOME goodness could survive within the whirlpool of ugliness—but when you stripped even THAT away... well, I’m a little surprised that I was able to finish, to be honest. The follow-up, The Fires of Vengeance, is one of the most highly anticipated fantasy releases of the fall, and with good reason: The Rage of Dragonswas excellent, and it left off just as the story was reaching new heights of tension and intrigue. I would be remiss if I didn't first mention that glorious cover! Karla Ortiz continues to hit it out of the park with her gorgeous artwork! Not only is the cover stunning, but the book itself smells bloody delectable! I'm an unapologetic book sniffer, what can I say?!? The Fires of Vengeance melts expectations; burning even hotter than the Rage of Dragons and blazing a trail for Evan Winter to join an elite group at the top of the fantasy pile.
