“If our lives were inherently meaningless, were we not obliged to extract every happiness from it that we could?”

10/10 - Brilliant, unpredictable and tense, The Tyranny of Faith documents the rapidly approaching and unstoppable fall of the Empire of the Wolf. Things just keep going from bad to worse! No middle book syndrome here really which I loved.

I love Swan's character work, and fast paced style. It is so refreshing to read a fantasy book like this where the lines of good and evil are so blurred, and again, Swan's use of religion is absolutely fantastic, particularly how this clashes with the rigour of law procedures. I really enjoyed the drops of romance in this story, and I think that Swan writes perfectly from Helena's unique perspective.
