Valour
Valour | John Gwynne
The second in The Faithful and the Fallen series, Valour by John Gwynne carries all of the excitement of the first. The Banished Lands are torn by war as the army of High King Nathair sweeps the realm challenging all who oppose his holy crusade. Allied with the manipulative Queen Rhin of Cambren, there are few who can stand against him. But Rhin is playing her own games and has her eyes on a far greater prize . . . Left for dead her kin have fled and her country is overrun with enemies Cywen fights to survive. But any chance of escape is futile once Nathair and his disquieting advisor Calidus realize who she is. They have no intention of letting such a prize slip from their grasp. For she may be their one chance at killing the biggest threat to their power. Meanwhile, the young warrior Corban flees from his conquered homeland with his exiled companions, heading for the only place that may offer them sanctuary. But to get there they must travel through Cambren, avoiding warbands, giants and the vicious wolven of the mountains. And all the while Corban struggles to become the man that everyone believes him to be the Bright Star and saviour of the Banished Lands. Embroiled in struggles for power and survival, the mortal world is unaware of the greatest threat of all. In the Otherworld, dark forces scheme to bring a host of the Fallen into the world of flesh to end the war with the Faithful, once and for all. Continue the epic fantasy series with Ruin and Wrath.

Shade and a good book. I‘ll leave the beach to the others. Fun to hear happy people sounds in the background.

There were several POVs and I loved to follow the plans of the evil ones. There were betrayals and twists.

I was afraid of something bad happening to characters I liked. But this had some lighter moments as well that made me laugh or smile.

There was so much action and I loved to follow all minor storylines. This book was hard to put down but at the same time I didn't want it to be finished. And now it is :(

Hit a bit of a slump. Not because the book is bad...November was/is just a slow reading month. Been playing a lot of vids & watching lots of anime.

If anything it's this book that is bringing me back to the pages. I'm really enjoying it and need to find out what's going on! 👍

So fascinated by the world that John Gwynne has created and the people he has populated it with.

If you're looking for a good character driven fantasy series you might wanna check out The Faithful and the Fallen.

(tagged book is the 2nd in the series as that's where I'm currently at).

TheAromaofBooks I'm always a sucker for a book with a good map! 5y

Someday, I‘ll take cash and just walk out of the used bookstore with the one book they had on hold for me. Today was not that day. 😂 In my defense: behold an #AkashicNoir, #NortonCriticalEdition, AND Penguin trade edition John Le Carre novel that I don‘t already own. How‘s a girl supposed to resist? #bookhaul

TrishB Looks fine to me ❤️ 6y

Continuing on with this series! I wasn't blown away by the first book, but it's certainly a solid story for a series. I'm interested to see how things develop, especially with my sweet cinnamon roll hero, Corban.

Gissy I am want to read this series someday! I think there is another series in the same world. I follow a YouTuber that she made complete review about this author's books Kitty G she is from London 7y
briski @Gissy yes, I watch her videos too! I think that may actually be how I heard about this series too! I don't know if we really have the exact same taste, but she definitely has read a ton of fantasy and her videos have expanded my fantasy radar! 7y
Gissy Yes! She is amazing! I wish I could read so fast as her! So many books...amazing books...so little time..😢 7y

2 of my babies. They still think that they're puppies when I'm reading and both try to get in my lap. Today is their 3rd birthday. No matter how old they get they are still my puppies and reading buddies.

The #weather has been absolutely terrible today. Thunderstorms, hail, tornados touching down too close for comfort. But it makes for some pretty fantastic reading weather! #aprilbookshowers

Joanne1 Nothing better than reading when it's wild outside. And that weather of yours sure sounds wild! 8y
Celeste57 @Joanne1 You're absolutely right on both counts! Louisiana is getting hammered right now. 😳⛈ 8y

My #AprilTBR is outrageous. Doubtful that I'll get them all in this month, and I'll probably add in some more, but I'm excited about everything in my stack! #aprilbookshowers

RealLifeReading Jo Walton and Peter Beagle! Nice! 8y
Celeste57 @RealLifeReading This will by my first Jo Walton book! Third for Beagle. I loved The Last Unicorn, but Summerlong was a bit of a letdown. This is another unicorn book, though, so I have high hopes! 8y
