Relation As Books Malice (The Faithful and the Fallen #1)
A black sun is rising …Young Corban watches enviously as boys become warriors under King Brenin’s rule, learning the art of war. He yearns to wield his sword and spear to protect his king’s realm. But that day will come all too soon. Only when he loses those he loves will he learn the true price of courage.
The Banished Lands has a violent past where armies of men and giants clashed shields in battle, the earth running dark with their heartsblood. Although the giant-clans were broken in ages past, their ruined fortresses still scar the land. But now giants stir anew, the very stones weep blood and there are sightings of giant wyrms. Those who can still read the signs see a threat far greater than the ancient wars. Sorrow will darken the world, as angels and demons make it their battlefield. Then there will be a war to end all wars.
High King Aquilus summons his fellow kings to council, seeking an alliance in this time of need. Some are skeptical, fighting their own border skirmishes against pirates and giants. But prophesy indicates darkness and light will demand two champions, the Black Sun and the Bright Star. They would be wise to seek out both, for if the Black Sun gains ascendancy, mankind’s hopes and dreams will fall to dust.

I finished Malice by the excellent John Gwynne whilst at hospital with Celyn this week. It's taken me a very long time to read due to the many calls on my time, so I've read it in small chunks over many months - and that's exactly the opposite of how I would want anyone to read my own work. It's a particularly bad way to read complicated books, and with a GRRM-sized cast and many point-of-view characters this is a book that really needs your attention on it or you'll get lost in the whirl ofJoie wrote: "Reading based on your recco..."Ahhhh yesss yessss! I hope you'll enjoy it, Joie! I LOVE this series so much! :)
4.5/5 StarsDo you ever have this feeling, just after you finished reading the first book of a series, you knew immediately there's a huge potential for the series to become one of your favorite series of all time? Malice, the first book in The Faithful and the Fallen quartet by John Gwynne is one of those rare cases for me.What started out as a simple classic tale of Good vs Evil ended up being not as simple as I thought. As the story progressed, the story evolved darker gradually while keeping
4.5 StarsAnother great debut book which surpassed my expectations! For whence But from the author of all ill could spring So deep a malice. John Milton, Paradise LostA classic fantasy story with the familiar end of the world, prophecy, chosen one arc that we see regularly (because we are suckers for epics obviously), but still a book every fantasy lover will enjoy. It is told from multiple POV's and as with such books you start favoring one or two characters above others, but I did not find one
Another buddy read with my fantasy addicted pals at BB&B 4.5 BRUTAL STARS ★★★★ 'even the brave will fall' Warning this book is not for the lighthearted I can't even count the amount of times I was shocked and saddened in this book. I heard this is the authors first book... Umm wow what a great start to no doubt a wonderful career for John Gywnne! This is another great fantasy read that I throughly enjoyed. I did however find the story extremely dark with little relief but it was a good read
Have you ever heard me saying: The movie was better? I dont think so, as such statement is an epitome of blasphemy for every self-respecting reader. But here comes Malice with each of its 672 pages like a severe toothache, and I promise: if they ever turn this book into a movie/series, it is going to be better than the original. It took me (let me check) over a month to read Malice. I put it down twice and read two other books in between. And the only thing that kept me going was the sheer
4.5 stars, rounded up. (Half-star taken off for a slow start. But man, did that ever change.)Move over, Martin, because Gwynne is here to steal yo girl.The A Game of Thrones comparisons here are completely understandable. As in Martins series, there is a varied cast of characters from whose perspectives we witness this story unfold. There is no time travel here, no resurrection for those who die. Death is final, and it is an equal opportunity reaper, not caring how good or bad a person is, how
