![]() ![]() ![]() For Sigrud je Harkvaldsson, the Dreyling giant who worked with Shara putting his deadly skills to good use for so many years, this news tears his world apart.Īfter spending years waiting for word from his old friend that it was time to return to action, Sigrud sets off on his own mission of vengeance, determined to track down whoever was responsible for killing his former employer. Shara Komayd, the former Prime Minister of Saypur (and heroine of the first novel, City Of Stairs), has been killed, an assassin’s bomb leaving the world in no doubt that the wily, controversial politician has met her end. The incredibly rich world that he has created, with warring states, undercover operatives, miraculous tricks and dead gods who aren’t as dead as they should be, has been an absolute pleasure to return to every time, but this final chapter opens on a powerful and affecting loss. Robert Jackson Bennett’s brilliant Divine Citiestrilogy comes to an end, and the author of Mr Shivers and The Troupe has made sure to send his characters off with a bang. ![]()
