Oliver Arditi's review of The Godbreaker (The God-King Chronicles, #3)

4/5: The concluding book of Mike Brooks' God-king chronicles, The God breaker is an entertaining epic fantasy that subverts a few of the genre's tropes. It's a sweeping, multi-perspective epic, but one in which some of the threads fail to connect at all at the conclusion, and in which the genre's usual offering of a dramatic, heroic, and violent solution to the problem of 'evil' is radically undercut.
