Sigrud je Harkvaldsson, once a warrior who left destruction in his wake, is now living anonymously in rough conditions and working manual labor jobs while always hoping to be called back to service by his old partner Shara Komayd. When he learns that Shara has been assassinated, Sigrud is unstoppable in his quest for vengeance. His pursuit of the killers brings him into a long-simmering conflict with the divine who were believed gone from the world. This exciting conclusion to Bennett's trilogy is just as fantastic as the earlier volumes. While City of Stairs focused on Shara, and City of Blade on Turyin Mulaghesh, Sigrud has been a constant throughout—seemingly a hulking brute with a slavish loyalty to Shara. This allegiance is still on display here, but Sigrud also reveals himself to be a canny strategist.
VERDICT Bennett explores the fascinatingly complex gods of the Continent and the magic they left in the world, bringing the series to a satisfying close.
