But can he bond with competing factions of warlike giants? Somehow he must, if he's to counter the threat Nathair represents.

His life hangs in the balance - and with it, the fate of the Banished …

jiewawa reviewed Wrath by John Gwynne (The Faithful and the Fallen, #4)

A great ending to my favourite series of the year

5 stars

The Faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwynne is the best series that I read this year.

The progression of all the characters from Malice all the way through to Wrath was exceptional. I am satisfied with all the endings within the book, even the ones that pulled on my heart strings.

Gwynne's ability to write immersive combat can also not be rivaled. It's thrilling to witness the many battles within this series and there were many times that I had to stop and take a breath after a fight.

I think that the previous book, Ruin, still is my favourite book in the series, but Wrath holds a special spot as one of the most epic finales I've ever experienced across any medium.

I highly recommend this series and am excited to continue my adventures in the Banished Lands soon.
