Stephen reviewed The Righteous by David Wragg (Articles of Faith, #2)
Review of 'The Righteous' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Less cheerful than the first, and by the end felt very much like a screenplay. This made it enjoyable to read but the tropes of "alchemist invents basically whatever-you-want" and "got beaten half-to-death but able to do it again a few hours later" are in a stronger competition than the actual sides in this war.
This made me want to read Joe Abercrombie again.
