Review
Another excellent dark adventure in The War Eternal series, Sins of the Mother is the fourth book in this brilliant pentalogy, Eskara is back with a bang, she is older, wiser, but a storm still rages inside her.
This series is simply amazing, excellent storytelling by Mr Hayes, a very interesting magic system, and the worldbuilding is sublime. His character development just gets better and better with deep emotional flaws, weaknesses, and strengths that get you so attached to these relatable characters.
This book, like the rest of the series, is brutal, powerful, and very honest. Rob J. Hayes’ prose is wonderful as ever, that keeps you milling through the pages from start to finish. One more to go, and I will be sad to leave this world behind.
Being a parent was not always Eskara strong point. After dealing with her enemies, she fell pregnant and ruled her queendom with an iron fist. But as the years pass by, Eskara has had enough and disappears. When an old friend finds her to let her know her daughter is missing and that sorcerers are being killed, Eskara must face old ghosts again and maybe a monster she has created.
For all lovers of dark fantasy, I very highly recommend…😁🖤🔥⚡️
