Empire of the Dawn by Jay KristoffMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dear Mister Kristoff:
Fuck.
My.
Face.
Over the course of so many trilogies, Kristoff has well earned his reputation as one of the most rockstarinest writers in the biz, and as we finally end his most epic trilogy yet, it’s a hard fought run for Gabriel de Léon and Dior Lachance and even Mlle Celine Castia. To say nothing of Marquis Jean-François perving out like the perpetual hornyboy he is.
Never more has Kristoff’s thematic throughline been more clear than here. As sinister dark lords circle to rule or kill all people, those who challenge them are united in love, even if they can’t express themselves without constant witticisms and insults. It’s a journey at once familiar and new - those who’ve read the Nevernight Chronicle as many times as I have can guess some plot beats pretty easily. But there are still many that defy prediction, including the end itself.
Vale la pena. 100%.
To the Last Silversaint and his family, found and blood alike, I hereby declare ave atque vale.
