Weekly Roundup

Well, it’s been a very solid week for reading this week, with 3! books finished and 2 new ones started. I’ve posted a review of an excellent book, and also a introduction to my favourite reading challenge – r/fantasy Book Bingo. Read on to find out the details!

Book Review: The Shadow Saint

Potential Spoilers Ahead: The Shadow Saint is the second book in The Black Iron Legacy series. As such, the blurb for this book and the following review will inevitably have some level of spoilers for the previous book. I’ve tried to keep those spoilers to a minimum, but you have been warned.

Enter a city of spires and shadows . . .

The Gutter Miracle changed the landscape of Guerdon forever. Six months after it was conjured into being, the labyrinthine New City has become a haven for criminals and refugees.

Rumors have spread of a devastating new weapon buried beneath the streets – a weapon with the power to destroy a god. As Guerdon strives to remain neutral, two of the most powerful factions in the godswar send agents into the city to find it.

As tensions escalate and armies gather at the borders, how long will Guerdon be able to keep its enemies at bay?

Summary: The Shadow Saint by Gareth Hanrahan is the second book in the Black Iron Legacy series, and like its predecessor, bursting with character, imagination and a twisty action packed plot. The series has moved from heists and secret cults, to a political thriller and looming war.
