A great sequel filled with wonderful characterizations, thought-provoking passages, and explosive ending sequences * Novel Notions * A read that is both gut-wrenching & awe-inspiring. It is a sequel that simply blows its predecessor out of the water. What a remarkable read * FanFi Addict * If you haven't yet started the Empire of the Wolf series you are really depriving yourself of what I believe will be one of the great works of fantasy fiction when all is said and done. If you love the truly epic stories of Robin Hobb, Joe Abercrombie, and Tad Williams, then you should jump on this series immediately. It's supremely dark in all the right places, occasionally rips your heart from your chest, dazzles you with next level magic, and just flat out compels you to keep on reading by virtue of its unputdownable story * Out of This World SFF * With Swan's impeccable worldbuilding, wit and claw-off-the-page characters, Tyranny of Faith seamlessly blends fantasy, mystery and horror into an addictive read, rife with unparalleled tension. A thoroughly satisfying sequel * H. M. Long * A superb sequel that raises the stakes in every conceivable way * Fantasy Review * Doom is inevitable; it will be interesting (and no doubt, heart-wrenching) to see what form it will take * Kirkus (starred review) * A gripping tragedy of empire infused with gothic horror * Fantasy Book Critic *
