The Unwritten Words #3
The Truthful Lie
How can humans stand up to the Old Gods? Reginald, now King, is struggling against the rising tide of the Old God entities. He knows that his army alone cannot defeat them, even with cold iron that can contain them and free enslaved humans. But as cities burn and farmland is devastated, the people have been easily convinced by cultists to turn to the Old Gods. In a neighbouring kingdom the weak young ruler, fallen prey to an entity that promised him the world, starts his campaign to fulfil that promise, adding to the threats heading towards Andalusia. Reginald’s best hope is that Isabella, his sorceress Queen, and Princess Silverdale, his talented sister, can learn enough about the entities and their relationship with the human realm to find a magical way to defeat them. But, as time is running out, shattering news arrives from the Golden City…

I have yet to read a fantasy book by Christopher Nuttall that I don't like. His characters are believable and his world building is second to none.
Silverdale, what a wonderful character, she just begs for a series of her own.
As long as he keeps writing like this I for one will keep buying, just a thought - how would you like him as a dungeon master, yeah, me too.

Brilliant!
A fantastic read you can really dig your teeth into, set in a world built to Tolkienesque specs. Such a huge range this author has to offer, I love this feeling when a new book comes in from him: Must drop everything and read it all immediately!

A satisfying conclusion
The awoken gods continue their invasion of the human plane, but there are some that dare to stand in their way. Fun read!

An engaging story
I like the story and the character development. This made the plot authentic in a way. Well written and imaginative.
