The character developments are spot on and we go into these characters so much. Gosh even Hestillion at this point even if I still think she makes the stupidest decisions of ever and I wish she’d NOT. I am so invested into each of these characters. This warm blanket however does not stop her from ripping out your heart at some point. One thing that I found in The Copper Cat books and that The Winnowing Flame has too is that Jen Williams manages to make you feel like you are in this warm blanket as you read of familiar characters that feel so close and real to you. I am literally scared for what the third book will bring us. I finished this book and I think I might have died a little on the inside there. The key to uniting them, according to the scholar Vintage, may lie in a part of Sarn no one really believes exists – a distant island, mysteriously connected to the fate of two legendary Eborans who disappeared long ago.īut finding it will mean a perilous journey in a time of war, while new monsters lie in wait for those left behind. Hatched too soon and with no memory of their past incarnations, these onetime defenders of Sarn can barely stop bickering, let alone face an ancient enemy who grow stronger each day. But these are not the great winged warriors of old. Tormalin the Oathless and the fell-witch Noon have their work cut out rallying the first war-beasts to be born in Ebora for three centuries.

When eccentric explorer, Lady Vincenza 'Vintage' de Grazon, offers him employment, he sees an easy way out. Better to be amongst the living, where there are taverns full of women and wine. Tormalin the Oathless has no taste for sitting around waiting to die while the realm of his storied ancestors falls to pieces - talk about a guilt trip. The great city of Ebora once glittered with gold.
