A Time of Blood

A fierce, gripping tale, and one I found hugely enjoyable -- Anna Smith Spark on <i>A Time of Dread</i> Great evils, conflicted heroes, bloody battles, betrayal, and giants riding battle bears! What's not to love? -- Peter Newman on <i>A Time of Dread</i> A brilliantly compelling heroic fantasy - likeable characters with nuance, a story that builds at a perfect pace, and a thrilling, climactic ending that kept me reading late into the night -- James Islington on <i>A Time of Dread</i> A Time of Dread reminds me of why I became a fantasy enthusiast in the first place' -- Robin Hobb John Gwynne is one of the modern masters of heroic fantasy -- Adrian Tchaikovsky on <i>A Time of Dread</i> John Gwynne must be a sorcerer because A Time of Blood is one hell of a monumental book . . . I was literally glued to this book and didn't want it to end. All I want to do is shout GO READ THIS! -- <i>NilsReviewsIt</i> `Gwynne continues to be unafraid to dish out war, brutality and loss and the climax does not disappoint . . . I was left with an incredible finale that promises an explosive conclusion' -- <i>KarinaReads</i> A Time of Blood is an irresistible jaw-dropping sequel that shows the importance of Gwynne's role as an ever-burning bright star in modern fantasy -- <i>NovelNotions</i> A riveting sequel, full of rousing, cinematic action that propels a wonderfully absorbing story -- James Islington This is extraordinarily good, an epic feat of the imagination. In this series Gwynne is setting a new benchmark in fantasy. I'd love to see it on screen -- Giles Kristian This book is so damned good . . . John Gwynne writes fantasy with the heart of a hero and the inventiveness of a master mage -- Sebastien de Castell A great read that accelerates the pace and goes one up on its excellent predecessor. The characters also grow with the story, finding peril at every turn and few clear choices. Exciting, action-packed fantasy -- Mark Lawrence
