Synopsis
I am the weapon.
Eskara is free of the Pit, but far from safe. She is beset by the ghosts of those she has killed, and plagued by the ancient horror that possesses her. Enemies dog her heels, determined to see the last Orran Sourcerer dead. Worse still, there is new player in the game, one far more dangerous than anything she has faced before.
But there is one place that might offer her both the safety she needs to survive, and the power she needs to strike back; Ro’shan, the flying home of a God. Eska will soon learn that all power comes with a cost, and some prices are too high.
The thrilling continuation of The War Eternal trilogy raises the stakes and pits Eska against more dangerous enemies. Perfect for fans of Patrick Rothfuss and Mark Lawrence.
Review
Boom, out of the darkness and into the light, I am the weapon. Absolutely fantastic, Rob J. Hayes continues this brilliant dark tale, and it goes from strength to strength.
The Lessons Never Learned is book two of the War Eternal trilogy that began with the amazing book one Along the Razor’s Edge. This novel is fast-paced and action-packed with just as much excitement, surprises, and twists as the first, moving out from the very dark underground setting we experienced for most of the first book.
We get to see the world from above, somewhat literally as Eskara and her companions look down from the floating city of Ro’shan. I absolutely loved the world building. Eskara’s growth throughout is phenomenal. She is a very different person, although as ruthless as ever.
In this book, Eskara is free, but her enemies are not far behind. A darkness pulsates from within her, and nightmares plague her dreams. We explore amazing new cities and get to discover the history of the world and its gods.
Eskara and her companions see the carnage and damage as entire cities are left to rot and left behind by the war. We slowly get the truth about magic and monsters, but not all is as it seems.
Now, for the third book, From Cold Ashes Risen, if you love your fantasy dark and grim, or some good oul storytelling at its finest, then look no further. I very highly recommend…😁🖤🔥🗡💥
