Valor (The Faithful and the Fallen #2) by John Gwynne

 

⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️

Five "Action Packed Warrior" Swords

This sequel was action packed to the hilt!

Thoughts:

This book, Valor is loaded with so much action that I could hear the swords and shields clashing and banging together as I read the story! Again for this series I am not giving a taste of what is within or a backstory because there is just so much happening within this story with so many characters that it is hard to narrow it down of what happens within as with this book the action and the characters kick it all up a notch.

I will mention about three main characters though to give you an idea of what is happening:

Nathair is now high king as something happened in the first book which hurled him into this role and he has actually taken his role of high king to a whole new level as he will do anything to conquer anyone who stands in his way even if it means combining forces with Rhin, Queen of Cambren. 

Corban is slowly becoming a warrior and he was pushed more into that role when things went to hell in a handbasket from the first book as war came a calling and Corban had to fight for his friends and family.

Cywen (Corban's sister) is believed to be dead by Corban and her mother which they had to escape from their homeland when the war intensified but Cywen is very much alive and has to figure out what she will have to do to survive the warriors that have taken over her home. 

As before there are tons of supporting characters and enemies with enemy leaders that are throughout this story. Though with this book there is tons more action, deception, and death that lies within these pages. The book is more fast paced than the previous book as more things are happening constantly within along with more twists and turns that kept my insomnia fueled!

I read almost 30% within few hours as the action just intensified and kept me moving at a high rate of speed which unlike the first book there was tons of world building but this book has moved past all that and is more of warrior/fighting story. Looking forward to continuing on with the series and reading the next book which is Ruin.
