Book description
A Canticle for the Fallen Review
Okay, so I just finished this audiobook and wow - Steven Raaymakers really knows how to crank up the intensity!
If you're into grimdark fantasy that doesn't pull any punches, this one's for you. The story picks up four years after the first book, and Raziel's back in his homeland dealing with some serious crap. I love how Raaymakers isn't afraid to put his characters through hell - literally, at some points.
The magic system here is seriously cool. It's all tied to emotions, which could've been cheesy, but it works beautifully with the dark themes. And speaking of dark - the whole "warchildren" concept gave me chills. These aren't your typical fantasy villains, they're genuinely unsettling.
What really grabbed me was how the audiobook format made the emotional beats hit harder. You can really feel Raziel's internal struggle when he's offered a chance to rewrite the past. Would you take that deal? I found myself genuinely torn right along with him.
The pacing is excellent - just when you think things can't get darker, Raaymakers throws another curveball. Old friends return, new enemies emerge, and nobody's safe. It's like a heavy metal album in book form, honestly. All clashing blades and bloody betrayal, just like the description promises.
Fair warning though - definitely read the first book first. I caught some references that would've been confusing otherwise. But if you're already invested in this world, book two delivers big time. Can't wait to see how the trilogy wraps up!
