City of Miracles by Robert Jackson Bennett

City of Miracles (Divine Cities, #3)

by Robert Jackson Bennett

'One of the best books I have ever read' - The Quill to Live

In the climax to the critically acclaimed Divine Cities trilogy, Sigrud je Harkvaldsson is back, and this time he's out for vengeance. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Brent Weeks and China MiƩville.

Shara Komayd, once Prime Minister of Saypur, has been assassinated. News travels fast and far, even to a remote logging town somewhere northwest of Bulikov, where the silent, shaven-headed Dreyling worker 'Bjorn' picks up the newspaper and walks out. He is shocked and grieved and furious; he's been waiting thirteen years for Shara, his closest friend, to reach out to him - to tell him to come home. He's always believed she was running a long operation, that there would be a role for him at the right time. Now he has no one else in his life, and nothing to live for - except to find the people who did this.

Sigrud wasn't there for the death of his daughter Signe, and he wasn't there when Shara was murdered. Now Bjorn is dead and Sigrud is back. And he will find answers, for Shara, and for himself. He's made a promise . . .

It took me a lot to finish this book and at times I thought to just DNF it... The worldbuilding is beautiful and the characters are compelling but I was quickly loosing interest in the story.
I'm glad I finish it though... the ending was perfect and sad and important and almost tempted me to give this book 4 stars instead of 3.
I still don't think City of Stairs needed sequels though.
