Wily, charming Kuni Garu, a bandit, and stern, fearless Mata Zyndu, the son of a deposed duke, seem like polar opposites. Yet, in the uprising against the emperor, the two quickly become the best of friends after a series of adventures fighting against vast conscripted armies, silk-draped airships, and shapeshifting gods. Once the emperor has been overthrown, however, they each find themselves the leader of separate factions—two sides with very different ideas about how the world should be run and the meaning of justice.

The Grace of Kings

Great world and cultures, I really enjoyed them, as well as the storytelling in isolated sections.

However, it bothered me to no end that the greater plot arc was driven by inexplicable, near-psychotic personality shifts across a range of major characters.

It's also unfortunate that the outcome of a Song-of-Ice-and-Fire-style fantasy imperial conflict is spoiled by the actual name of the trilogy. 😐
