I’m really pleased to have gotten round to writing this review for The Fury Of Kings by R.S. Moule. I do apologise for my lateness with this review. Thanks to Noelle of Second Sky Books and NetGalley for my ebook to write my honest review.
In the shadow of Eryispek—a mountain said to have no summit—a dark power is stirring. Storms rage in the frozen heights. Unexplained disappearances shake the kingdom below. And old enemies are sharpening their swords…
Andrick the Barrelbreaker first led an army at sixteen.
His victories secured the throne of Erland for his brother and shattered the rebellious noble houses in the West. Decades later, a fragile peace still holds.
But when the king’s only son is murdered, Erland is plunged into crisis. The new heir will stop at nothing to secure his claim. The king, maddened by grief, stalks the halls and hidden passages of his keep, growing more unpredictable by the day.
As war and magical disaster loom, Andrick must decide between protecting his family and marching out to serve a brother he barely recognizes.
His children must also choose their destinies.
Training in the practice yard every day, Orsian dreams of fighting beside his father. Now, for the first time, he faces the brutal reality of battle.
And Pherri is haunted by very different dreams—of figures struggling up the mountain, of a voice more chilling than the wind, of blood on the snow. Only she can resist the darkness that waits on the slopes above…
Race through the pages of an epic new series and enter a world of intrigue, battles and destiny that will leave you breathless. The Erland Saga is a classic fantasy adventure, perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin, John Gwynne and Raymond E. Feist.
A debut epic fantasy by R.S Moule, The Fury Of Kings is an immersive tale that I revelled in from the very start. Fantasy is a genre I have only discovered over the last few years in a real way. Before this, I did enjoy books from Terry Pratchett. These days, I look forward to any fantasy book that can transport me out of the real world for a while. This book did just that.
Told from multiple characters perspectives that I love as it gave me a fuller, more rounded picture of everything. The characters themselves and the settings were so vivid that I almost felt I was with them throughout their battles. I was captivated by this world. R.S. Moule’s world building was detailed enough to allow me to see it as I read.
It was a great start to the series and one I hope to follow throughout. I’m looking forward to learning much more about the characters and seeing how they develop. I always love magic within a fantasy, and in this book, the magic was well explained, but I would like to see much more of it in the books yet to come.
The fact that the pages flew by and I just had no intention of putting this book down at any point makes it a book I got so involved with. I am already impatient to see what’s next for everyone when the next book is released!
