This may intimidate some readers but don’t be afraid, John’s writing makes it really easy to remember all of them once you managed to get through the first book. I’m not exaggerating, there are literally more than one hundred characters to remember.
#WRATH JOHN GWYNNE READ ONLINE SERIES#
It’s the only series I read so far that uses the entire map literally ALL locales are visited throughout the series, and it’s also filled with a uniquely huge cast of characters. The entire series is really massive in its scope with Ruin & Wrath being the biggest. Once you reach the second book, it’s really clear who belongs to which side of the coin in the story.
The main reasons for this are because all the main characters are really compelling and lovable, other than one or two characters, and none of them has a gray moral code. It’s a fantastically written culmination of the entire series and if that still doesn’t convince you to read it, please continue reading this review.Īlthough throughout the series the story only gets darker as it progresses, I must remind you that this epic fantasy never goes into the ‘grimdark’ territory. After the bloody cliffhanger of Ruin, Wrath starts off right where the story left off and manages to conclude everything that was initiated in Malice with a satisfying and emotional ending. The entire story spans around five years and during this period of time, a lot of characters development and monumental events transpire. I’ll let you know some basic outline of the series, such as the entire series revolves around the concept of ‘Good vs Evil’, which grows in complexity as the series progresses. I won’t go into any details on what the plot is about so don’t worry, you’re safe to read this review if you haven’t started the series. The series is written in a way that will hit home for most every epic fantasy lover of the Good vs Evil theme it triggered a strong sense of nostalgia and reminded me why I love the theme in the first place, but with a slight changes that this time: the undertone is darker in a sense that it’s quite similar to GRRM’s A Song of Ice And Fire series. No, good is a really huge understatement.
No, almost every single plot device here has been done before. Does this series provide something new to the genre? I’ll start off my review with two simple questions.ġ. “It will be a dark day, a bloody day, a proud day, for this is the day of our wrath.” That makes him one of my very few auto-buy authors along with Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie, I’ll be content with buying every book they write. Wrath is, in my opinion, the best out of the four books in the series, which means the series always got better with each installment and with its completion I’ve decided to include John in my list of favorite authors of all time. Martin, while you’re waiting for the breeze from the Winds of Winter to come, John Gwynne has appeared out of nowhere and he has conquered the genre the apprentice has become the master. Mark my words, if this series ever gets adapted into a television series with the same production value given to Game of Thrones, it will create a myriad of fan bases all over the world.
