I really enjoyed reading this book! I read this book in one sitting because I could not put the book down, I highly recommend reading this book!

I read the first two books in this series last year, I posted my reviews which you can check out (Hero Born/Hero Grown) and I loved them so I definitely wanted to read the third book as it was available on Netgalley this month. I can't say too much about this book as it's the third book and I'd hate to spoil it for those who haven't read the first two.

It follows Brann (no, not that one) and a group of friends who happen to be a gang of well meaning misfits, thieves, former slaves and fighters as they go on an adventure of revenge, I don't want to say anymore as you need to read the other two books! I love the writing style, it's so quick and easy to follow but also wonderfully descriptive and immersive to the point that I genuinely care about what happens to the main characters.

This book is a little more brutal that the other two and each book seems to ave influences from various cultures. For example, the first seemed to be inspired by northern european and viking cultures, the second on roman and greek and this third book appears to take inspiration from south american and aztec culture. I like the world, characters and the ending although I think my favourite book is definitely the first.
