Relation During Books City of Blades (The Divine Cities #2)
A generation ago, the city of Voortyashtan was the stronghold of the god of war and death, the birthplace of fearsome supernatural sentinels who killed and subjugated millions. Now, the city’s god is dead. The city itself lies in ruins. And to its new military occupiers, the once-powerful capital is a wasteland of sectarian violence and bloody uprisings. So it makes perfect sense that General Turyin Mulaghesh — foul-mouthed hero of the battle of Bulikov, rumored war criminal, ally of an embattled Prime Minister — has been exiled there to count down the days until she can draw her pension and be forgotten. At least, it makes the perfect cover story. The truth is that the general has been pressed into service one last time, dispatched to investigate a discovery. For while the city’s god is most certainly dead, something is awakening in Voortyashtan. And someone is determined to make the world tremble at the the city’s awful power again.

Oh yes! This is how you write the second book in a series - you make it as good or even better than the first one. And that's so even when you totally change the main character. Of course Shara and Sigrud do appear and Sigrud in particular has quite a large role but it is General Mulaghesh who steps up front and centre in this book and she is oh so good. She reminds me a little of Joe Abercrombie's Glokta - someone who is actually pretty bad and quite ruthless and yet still likeable and
This was shockingly heart breaking.RTC.
This is a very well written and intense tale, and in my opinion, it surpasses the first book, City of Stairs.Turyin Mulaghesh, pulled out of retirement after the Battle of Bulikov returns to the Continent, this time to the city of Voortyashtan to investigate the disappearance of a Ministry official and of course, other strange occurrences. But being in Voortyashtan brings back a host of combat related memories for Mulaghesh in addition to being a veritable powder keg of its own.Within this
This was not what I expected.Enchanted by City of Stairs (my review), I worked my way backward through some of Bennetts earlier books, including American Elsewhereand The Troupe. Solid writing chops, vivid imagery, stellar characterization, and clear improvement with each published book. To say I was looking forward to City of Blades was an understatement.Though hes never been involved in an operationbesides Bulikov, which he feels doesnt counthe cant help but be a little concerned about how all
It is frustrating that I dont enjoy The Divine Cities as much as I want to, or as much as others clearly do. In this sequel to City of Stairs, Saypuri General Turin Mulagesh is dispatched to the city of Voortyashtan to investigate whether a newly discovered element is of divine origin. What she finds may have even more dire consequences.The worldbuilding for this series is so brilliant, the fact that the stories themselves (high fantasy police procedurals) are just okay is especially
