Summary:
A generation ago, the city of Voortyashtan was the stronghold of the god of war and death, the birthplace of supernatural sentinels who killed and enslaved 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 retire and be forgotten.
At least, it makes a perfect cover story.
The truth is that the general has been pressed into service one last time, dispatched to investigate a terrifying 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 city's awful power again.
My Thoughts:
This book is supposed to be a sequel, but I couldn't find the first book, so I read it as a stand-alone novel.
Most of it didn't make sense--but it's probably because I didn't read the first book.
There was way too much swearing and I hated it.
The story would skip from one part to the next and it left you confused.
My Rating: 2 stars
**I received this book from Blogging for Books for my honest review. Thank you!**
