The Fell Sword review
| Reading time: ~1 minute
Another excellent entry in the Traitor Son cycle. The fighting, intrigue, and descriptions of weapons and armor remain top-notch, and the larger plotline is moved forward quite a bit, but I felt too much time was spent on less-interesting characters and the copyediting was rather weak.
