The third and final book in the surprising West of West trilogy continues following the Wootah Viking clan and the former Calnian Owsla alchemically enhanced warriors on their mission to save the world. The secrets behind the unknown threat in the far West of what will become North America is gradually revealed as they approach and meet various clans and tribes on the periphery of the Meadows. The group meet more unusual and dangerous creatures, and some surprising new friends.
There are some shock twists spread throughout the book, a number of unexpected deaths, some long-anticipated ones and some excellent character interaction,
My favourite aspect of these books has been the wonderful narration with such with and humour. The story is not a hostage to the humour but these are books that refuse to take themselves too seriously.
There are some brilliant thrilling set piece sequences in this book and while there was something of a dip around the halfway point it really kept my engagement and enjoyment up throughout.
Given the brutal covers these books really surprised me, being touching, funny (at times just plain daft) and highly original. If ever the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" was to apply to a specific series it is this one. Fans of epic fantasy will love the story, fans of Pratchett and Abercrombie will love the wit and dialogue.

An excellent end to a trilogy that was funny and dark at the same time.
I found this book engrossing and entertaining, with a great cast of characters and a wonderful world building.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Is this the end? Say it ain't so! I've really enjoyed this dark and witty fantasy series. The previous books were both funnynand gritty and book three takes everything I loved about them and builds on it. This is an excellent trilogy. Highly recommend.

I know this is netgalley but I had already purchased this book before I was fortunate to get a copy as an ARC (not so advanced methinks) i really enjoyed the previous books and this one was the icing on the cake, funny, exciting, thrilling and moving all in equal measures, absolute joy to read and I heartily recommend this book
