The fires of vengeance evan winter6/30/2023 ![]() The action is never glorified Winter’s message is deeper than peace is good Winter is warning us that a society built on constant warfare and oppression of an underclass is the equivalent of living in Hell. Secondly, Winter has a deeper message that’s well worth absorbing. If Tau isn’t actually fighting he’s talking about fighting. That’s important because brutal fighting takes up most of the pages. So why would you want to suffer along with Tau? For one, Winter writes well his pacing is strong, and he writes compelling action scenes. This is a book pretty much devoid of humor or happy moments. ![]() He builds a team of his friends so that they can suffer the vicious tortures along with him. Tau is battered, torn and disrespected continuously throughout the book. Instead I can best describe this book as torture porn. Your entertainment won’t come from trying to guess where the plot is going very little of the outcomes are in doubt. This book tells the story of Tau who has risen from a downtrodden beginning to be the hero of the nation (that’s a spoiler for book 1). ![]() ![]() It stands out from standard tolkienesque fantasy in that it is set in an African inspired secondary world. Recommended by: Winter’s “The Fires of Vengeance” is the 2d book in a series named “The Burning”. ![]()
