I enjoyed my time with The Justice of Kings, but I just didn't feel propelled to read it. I struggled to keep track of the politics, and why the bad guys were being so bad. Saying that, I think I will endeavour to give the second book a chance, just because the magic system was fascinating. 'Justices' uphold the laws of the emperor, and Sir Konrad Vonvalt was fascinating. He just casually scares the truth out of people with his terrifying magic voice and revives the recently dead for a chat... would recommend for lovers of brutal politics heavy fantasy
