Ashes of the Tyrant

A Brimstone Angels Novel

By: Erin M. Evans

Narrated by: Dina Pearlman

In a direct follow-up to her fourth book in the Brimstone Angels series, Fire in the Blood, Erin M. Evans thrusts her signature character, Farideh, into a fast-paced murder mystery rife with political intrigue.

In the wake of the war brought on by the Sundering, Farideh's adopted father, Mehen, has been called back by the clan that cast him out, and Farideh and Havilar mean to go with him. Just as Mehen confronts the head of his former clan, a clutch of young dragonborn is found in the catacombs brutally murdered, an infernal summoning circle that looks all too familiar to Farideh nearby.

Everything You Ever wanted to Know About Dragonborn

If you've come this far, I feel like this does an excellent job of gathering all the loose plot threads for an inevitable final push in the next book.

In addition, the themes dealing Mahen's very adult emotions and relationships displayed along side the YA kind of romances our two Tiefling Twins contend with feels like a steadying hand on fraught nerves of all the past books. It may also reflect a maturing of the author.

So many pay-offs on the Mahen storyline in this book, and Dragonborn society is delved into in a way I have wished for elsewhere.

Sorting All The Relationships

This and the next book are really a part 1 and 2 of a story. Not that the others are less connected. As far as the reading goes, people have got to give the reader direction on uncommon, or fantasy words, otherwise the person listening has to puzzle out what's being said (falchion in previous books are a big one, but lich in this one).
The family and cultural values of each group are on full display on each thread being followed.

Solid story to the very end.

Well done, Erin Evans, as always. A great story. You set fantasy novel standards very high.

Awesome as always

I really love this series. Such great stories and characters, you never feel like asking "what's going in with X"? Awesome and can't wait to continue.

Ashes of the tyrant

This is quite good here. The only thing lacking was a frame to put it in. Basically you need to read the other books. I still enjoyed it. The interplay of characters was interesting.
