(3.58) | Ingen | Jezzet Vel'Urn is a trained swordsman. She has rightfully earned the title Blademaster, and she knows that for a woman like her there are generally just two ways out of most hostile situations: fight or fornicate. All too often for Jezzet's liking, it comes down to some gods-be-damned combination of the two. In The Heresy Within, Jezzet is chased into the Wild by a vengeful warlord until she finally makes it to the sovereign city-state of Chade. But instead of sanctuary, she finds only more opportunistic bastards waiting to turn her over to her enemies. Also figuring majorly in the story is Thanquil Darkheart, a sorcerer hunter called an Arbiter, tasked with hunting down and purging heretics for the Inquisition. Thanquil is given a task by the God Emperor of Sarth, from which he has no escape. Lastly, there's the brutal outlaw called Black Thorn, best known perhaps for the killing of several Arbiters and possibly being one of the biggest names in the Wild for his proclivities. All three of their fates seem to be converging on the Free City of Chade, and before long Jezzet, Thanquil, and the Black Thorn will have to confront each other as they find themselves facing The Heresy Within. This is book one of Rob J. Hayes' epic grimdark trilogy, The Ties That Bind. It is intended for mature listeners. This newly repackaged Ragnarok edition has been edited and revised.… (mere) |

Action packed and gritty, the characters are more antihero than hero. It took me several chapters to warm up to the characters. At first, I didn't like any of them, but they grew on me as the book continued. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series and I've already put them on my wishlist.
This book contains a lot of violence, including several scenes with violence against a woman, so if this is a trigger issue for you, don't read it. I don't think the violence here is gratuitous, though, as it shows that the world these characters live in is very harsh and unforgiving. The characters are a product of their interactions with this world, and their actions and reactions reflect that.
I received the book for free through Goodreads Giveaways. ( )
