MUST Read for Fantasy Fans
The **Faithful and Fallen Collection** by John Gwynne is an epic fantasy series that comprises four compelling installments: **Wrath, Ruin, Malice,** and **Valour**. Set in the richly imagined Banished Lands, the series follows the gripping saga of Corban and his battle against sinister forces threatening his realm.In **Wrath**, the stakes escalate as King Nathair seizes control of the fortress at Drassil, amassing three of the Seven Treasures with the intent to command a demon horde from the Otherworld. Meanwhile, Corban finds himself imprisoned by the formidable Jotun giants and must forge unlikely alliances to stand a chance against Nathair's escalating power. **Ruin** continues the turmoil as Queen Rhin conquers the west, and the dark machinations of Calidus unleash chaos upon the Banished Lands. **Malice** shifts focus to a younger Corban, who yearns for the battlefield and must confront the heavy burdens of courage and sacrifice as he witnesses the harsh realities of war. Finally, in **Valour**, the conflict intensifies as Nathair's army threatens to crush all opposition in his quest for dominion, while Corban and his allies confront the dire choices that could determine the fate of their world.Throughout these novels, Gwynne expertly crafts a tale of loyalty, betrayal, and resilience, vividly depicting the trials of his characters against a backdrop of epic battles and rich mythology. Each book intertwines complex relationships and moral dilemmas, making the **Faithful and Fallen Collection** a must-read for fans of fantasy who enjoy exploring the depths of heroism and the cost of war.

Haven’t Read In Years/Best Books
I have not read a real book in like 10-20 years I can’t recommend this series enough. I use to play video games a lot now I am basically reading and loving every part of it. The details the author of the scenes the flipping through chapters like a movie or video games is just incredible. If you don’t know what to read haven’t read pick this series up it’s absolutely worth it.

Best fantasy series - and it is COMPLETE!
I am overwhelmed with emotions upon finishing this book. I stayed up late last Night to finish it, which was a mistake. My brain refused to shut down and let me sleep, instead it kept trying to work through the ending and try to process.This book was amazing. I will tell you the first couple hundred pages are mostly world building and a whole lot of character development - but it was very interesting, I was never bored or tired of it. However, I did have a bit of a rough time during this chunk because the author literally introduced ALL of the characters at the same time. It it written in a style like The Song of Ice and Fire, where each chapter was devoted to a particular character, and since there was so many introduced at the same time, I had all but forgotten the first one by the time we made our way back to him.I felt this book was a slow burn for the first half. When I read about 340 pages in - it SNAPPED. Everything that had been getting set up in the first half was set into motion and I absolutely could not put the book down. It was intricate and masterfully done, I’m in awe of how fantastic the story was.I did not find it predictable, but I did think I had figured a few things out that would happen by the end. I got one right, but was so wrong at others. The author made me fall in love with these characters and I am feeling so empty after reaching the end - so glad I bought the entire series at once!I highly, HIGHLY recommend this book!

A little slow to start, but a great series for anyone who likes darker fantasy.
I loved these books. Malice starts off a little slow, but it stays interesting and keeps you locked in. The pacing picks up as the story continues and all comes to a head in the final book. There were a few times I felt as if John Gwynne wrote something and had forgotten about something else he’d written before, but they were small enough or not consequential enough to the story that they threw me out of it. (I also just happen to be a nitpicker of small details like that). Overall a great series that I would recommend to anyone.
