Winter’s writing is very rich and very descriptive, the detail is impressive and the metaphors balanced with strong, direct and sharp language created a strong and effective atmosphere of war, violence and humanity. After a couple of chapters you start to easily grasp the terminology and can truly connect with the world that Winter has created. Though initially difficult to get into, due to the world specific terminology (there is no hand-holding you are thrown right into this world), it is incredibly immersive. Rich, Detailed, Immersive And Impressive. The contained world is rich and full of dynamic layers, the characters are formidable and intense, and the lore and magic is powerful, distinctive and remarkable. The Rage Of Dragons is an amazing African inspired fantasy, and is one of the best fantasies I have read. Determined to become the greatest swordsmen, Tau walks a violent path of blood and vengeance.ĬW: may contain spoilers!! Rape/sexism, murder, graphic violence, one detailed sex scene, (possibly others I have missed) He doesn’t get the chance.Ĭircumstances change and Tau starts on a path of revenge. He plans an escape, injury, to ensure he can have a happy life with the woman he loves.
Tau is not gifted, he is destined to be a low-level soldier who will die in this war. Those who aren’t Gifted are foot soldiers, fodder, those who will die in this unwinnable war. One in every hundred men are born with the ability to transform into a larger, stronger, and faster warrior. One in every two thousand women are born Gifted, they can call down the Dragons, they have the ability to use gifts. The Omehi people have built their society on war, they live and breathe it, their lives are for the war. Synopsis: The Omehi people have been fighting a war for almost 200 years, it is unwinnable and yet they are still fighting. A truly fantastic story filled with twists, turns and terrific characters. An epic and phenomenal fantasy filled with violence, vengeance, dragons and magic.
