Book Review of Last of the Wilds.
The second book in The Age of the Five trilogy was a much better read. This is mostly because the focus is finally on the Wilds or the Immortals as they preferred to be known.
While the story isn’t actually action-packed, there are a number of interesting revelations regarding the Wilds which kept things moving. I certainly had a hard time putting down the book despite the fact that it was a re-read.
What happens here also reinforces my feelings regarding Auraya and the Circlians. Whatever justifications they give for their decisions or the excuses they make for their gods, I can’t help but note the hypocrisy of it all. If they were truly as benevolent as they are, what would it matter who worshipped which gods as long as they did good.
An intriguing read with plenty of tension to keep me coming back for more.
