Book Review: The Broken God

Enter a city of dragons and darkness.

The Godswar has come to Guerdon, dividing the city between three occupying powers. While the fragile Armistice holds back the gods, other forces seek to extend their influence. The criminal dragons of the Ghierdana ally with the surviving thieves – including Spar Idgeson, once heir to the Brotherhood of Thieves, now transformed into the living stone of the New City.

Meanwhile, far across the sea, Spar’s friend Carillon Thay travels towards the legendary land of Khebesh, but she, too, becomes enmeshed in the schemes of the Ghierdana – and in her own past. Can she find what she wants when even the gods seek vengeance against her?

Summary: The Broken God by Gareth Hanrahan is a strong continuation to the Black Iron Legacy series, a world where mad gods walk the earth, monsters roam the streets, and Dragon crime families hold hostage entire cities. While perhaps a step down from the two previous entries, the book is still a great ride the whole way through.

Weekly Roundup

It’s been a little bit of a slow reading this week, as most of my time was spent reading The Broken God, and I’ve been busy with something on the side that I’m not ready to announce yet. Despite that, I’ve technically finished two books, and almost sort of started one more. Alongside that I’ve posted two reviews, one glowing, and one a bit more mixed. Read on to find out the specifics!
