Probably one of my favourite fantasy series on the go at the moment. I love all the characters, the action and the tone in which is was written. Brilliant book.

Lloyd has done an amazing job here. Other than Book 2, which for me was only okay, this series has been one of the most enjoyable reads I've ever had. Sanderson has turned around the Wheel of Time saga and the final book in that series is what I now most want to read, followed immediately by the last book in the Twilight Reign. Lots of powerful characters that make the story without overwhelming it.

The series is awesome. If I had any complaints it is simply having to wait a couple years for my next fix. Love the book and its entire series

Another great book in the series. Great story with magic, gods and full of action. Very fast read. Cant wait for the next book in the series

Although he had to act cold hearted and vicious in the war with the gods and saw his death in visions, the demise of Lord Isak has left the Farlan armies leaderless and retreating in confused panic. Several "humans" try to take up the leader void. King Emin Thonal of Narkang and the Three Cities and Ruhen possessed by the angry shadow-god Azaer who was shockingly defeated by Usak and the Farlan at devastated Scree, push their agenda.

The next key battle is coming. However, the gods learned from what happened at Scree. Instead of leading their supporters in battle, they direct their followers from the safety of a distant command post. The Grave Thief, the Hail Mary last hope for mankind, is realistic about his leadership skills so he seeks a hero to lead the bone weary battle fatigued human military; he turns to the graveyard for his champion.

The fourth Twilight Reign fantasy (see The Twilight Herald, The Stormcaller and The Grave Thief) is a great tale filled with plenty of vivid action. Readers will feel they retreat along side the despondent Farlan, who have come down from an adrenaline berserker frenzy to despair following the stunning death of Isak. Tom Lloyd displays his juggling ability as several interesting subplots with a large cast move forward towards what looks like the coming of the apocalypse confrontation.
