I went in thinking I would enjoy the books, obviously, but I didn’t think I would love them. Where the previous book was about discovering one’s self, this one is about learning where you belong. I think you’d get more from all the small mentions and history and lore if you read the previous series first, but I didn’t, and it was still super easy to fall into this world.Ī Time of Dread is an epic, gory book about discovering who you are, in a world where the Ben-Elim rule, the Kadoshim threaten, and the humans and giants are caught in a no-win situation between the two.Ī Time of Blood expands that to an all-out war, with detailed fight scene after fight scene and lots of strategy. ![]() You do not need to have read the first series in order to read this series.Īnd thank goodness for that, because this books are long, but deservedly so. The Of Blood and Bone series takes place in the same world as The Faithful and the Fallen, but about 130 years later. ![]() John Gwynne’s The Faithful and the Fallen has been recommended to me I don’t know how many times, so I decided to finally pick up this series. ![]() Lately, I’ve been trying to give things another go rather than writing them off, so here we are. Is this where I put the caveat that, normally, I’m not a huge fan of epic fantasy?īecause I’m not.
