Summary
The first book in The Last War series: a debut epic fantasy full of crunching revolutionary action, twisted magic, and hard choices in dark times.
The war is over. The enemy won.
Jia's people learned the hard way that there are no second chances. The Egril, their ancient enemy, struck with magic so devastating that Jia's armies were wiped out. Now terror reigns in the streets, and friend turns on friend just to live another day.
Somehow Tinnstra - a deserter, a failure, nothing but a coward - survived. She wants no more than to hide from the chaos.
But dragged into a desperate plot to retake Jia, surrounded by people willing to do anything to win the fight, this time Tinnstra will need to do more than hide.
If Jia is to get a second chance after all, this time she will need to be a hero.
With all the grit of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence and Ed McDonald, this is fantasy with the sharpest of edges.

Fantastic
If the man in the high castle had dark fantasy magic and awesome sword fights. A brutal and oppressive world so thick with tension you could cut it with a skull scimitar.

Favourite book of the year...
My favourite book of the year.
Gripping, intense and grim. Characters I rooted for right from the start (bar one little urchin).
It's Rogue One meets Game of Thrones. What would you do for those you love? To aid the resistance?
I only wish the narrator was better.
So looking forward to the next book.

disappointing
as I big fan of Joe Abercrombie I was very excited to get started with this .... I had been promised a gritty grim dark experience. what I got fell very short IMO.
I feel like they couldn't have picked a worse narrator also.
such a shame as I really wanted to enjoy this.
