@kris.and.mads: Is The Faithful and the Fallen by @John Gwynne Author worth your time? We’re here to convince you it is! The series is comprised of four books: Malice Valor Ruin Wrath RATINGS Goodreads Avg: 4.4 ⭐️ Kristen’s Ratings: TBD Maddie’s Ratings: 4.75 ⭐️ LENGTH Pages: 2,880 Time: 99 h 35 m With the popularity of the Bloodsworn Trilogy, maybe readers are considering checking out the earlier series by the same author! We definitely think you should! The Faithful and the Fallen is about a young man named Corban, on the brink of manhood, who dreams of fighting for his king. It’s also about ambitious politicians, angels and demons, and prophecy, and the price of courage. There are multiple points of view, and a semi-complex world, but once you get your bearings, the Banished Lands are full of all the classic fantasy setting and plot you could wish for. I loved that it made me cry so much. That sacrifices felt earned. That no one felt safe. That the common tropes were inverted enough to surprise me, and that the pace never let me out of its grip. It feels like a classic. It comes down to simple and powerful creeds like “Truth and Courage” and it will move and motivate you. It’s the kind of series that can change you if you let it. So yes I recommend it a thousand percent! #bookstagram #thefaithfulandthefallen #johngwynne #johngwynnemalice #fantasybooks
