The Grace of Kings - Thryft

Epic fantasy, rebellions, gods, and airships.

"The Grace of Kings" could be a great read for fans of epic fantasies filled with political intrigue, rebellion, and divine intervention. The aspect that sets this book apart is the addition of airships in the story, which adds an extra layer of excitement. The characters are well-written and the unlikely friendship between the bandit and the son of a deposed duke is heartwarming. However, be warned that the book is quite lengthy and may require some patience. Overall, a must-read for lovers of epic fantasy novels.

Description

Emperor Mapidere was the first to unite the island kingdoms of Dara under a single banner. But now the emperor is on his deathbed, his people are exhausted by his vast, conscriptive engineering projects and his counsellors conspire only for their own gain.

Even the gods themselves are restless.

A wily, charismatic bandit and the vengeance-sworn son of a deposed duke cross paths as they each lead their own rebellion against the emperor's brutal regime. Together, they will journey to the heart of the empire; witnessing the clash of armies, fleets of silk-draped airships, magical books and shapeshifting gods. Their unlikely friendship will drastically change the balance of power in Dara... but at what price?

THE GRACE OF KINGS is the debut novel by Hugo-, Nebula- and World Fantasy Award-winner Ken Liu and the first in an monumental new epic fantasy series.
