About this listen

'That thing in Tiltspire, it keeps Cahan like a trophy. It says to us, here is your strongest and I have killed him.'

Cahan Du Nahare is lost, taken by a dark god whose tendrils reach throughout the world, intent on its destruction. Those who followed Cahan are spread across the land, desperate and lost now fate has turned against them. The Reborn warriors are toys for the enemy, the warrior Dassit, forestal Ania and monk Ont are drawn to the dangerous north but do not know why. Udinny is forced into the company of a woman who desires nothing more than her death and the Rai, Sorha, leads a dwindling band on a mission even she believes is doomed to failure. Only the trion Venn remains hopeful, slowly growing in power and trusting in the path of their god.

But maybe all is not lost, the great Wyrdwoods of Crua may be ancient and slow to act, but something in them is waking.

Wyrdwood is coming.

This trilogy is incredible. A whole new world that you are taught in such detail but without the feeling of lengthy description- loads of action.
Most of all, the characters are so brilliant and real and they develop in ways you don’t expect. The ending is perfect.

I appreciated the way that gender is dealt with in a casual way that is really broad and also the way the world assumes women are strong and able to be muscly warriors as well as loving mothers.

This review is haphazard and does no justice to a gripping BRILLIANT book.
