DESCRIPTION:
solid pay-off from a solid series I also commend Mr. Ruckley for fininshing the series in three books. During the second book I feared it was going off the rails but the Fall of thanes brings it back together. Great resolution of the main story arcs for the protagonist and antagonist and much of that is due to the pretty solid writing. Last couple of chapters certainly brought me to tears.That said, a couple of negatives for me. I don't mind bleak, but I do mind pointless, and I felt several of the side characters who I thought had great promise from the first books just fade away in this series. Also, . A World, Godless. First off, I feel like I have to applaud Brian Ruckley for ending the series at three books. Too many fantasy authors these days like to milk their fans for all they're worth, with diminishing results each time. So thanks for taking the high road, Mr. Ruckley.When we last left the gang at the end of Bloodheir, the bad guys had a seemingly insurmountable lead. The Black Road have defeated the True Bloods at every battle worth counting. Most of the northern cities have already fallen. Aeglyss' power is growing by the day, and now he has a zombified Mordyn under his thumb.. E. Bagui said A bittersweet conclusion to the Godless trilogy.

If only George R.R. Martin had the same idea - I digress.This is one of the best trilogies I've read in recent times. The hero Orisian is not your typical farm boy-turned-super-hero, he's a gentle young man burdened by grief and regret, Thane to a people tittering at the edge of extinction, and with no clear or attainable solution to the plight his world faces. Suffice to say he epitomizes beleaguered, and it is for that reason he can't help but be compelling to me.Accompanying Orisian are a ragtag. books. If only George R.R.

FALL OF THANES is the spectacular conclusion to the Godless World trilogy, a sweeping epic of war, politics and empire.. Aeglyss, falling ever deeper into madness, casts a shadow across all. At the court of the High Thane, Anyara faces a savage struggle for survival against the na'kyrim's possessed agent: Mordyn Jerain, the Shadowhand. In the GlasValley, Kanin, the embittered Horin-Gyre Thane, plots a desperate rising against the halfbreed. But ultimately it will be Orisian, Thane of a Blood that no longer exists, who must stand face to face with a darkly transcendent Aeglyss and make the sacrifice - of himself and others - required to end the threat he represents. The True Bloods are in disarray, their alliance crumbling and their armies humbled by the forces of the Black Road
