While still being a commanding entry in the Empire of the Wolf trilogy, The Tyranny of Faith didn't grip me the same way The Justice of Kings did. Even though we get some "aha!" moments at the end, it still felt like jagged puzzle pieces were being forced into place.

I absolutely loved that we explored more of the [dark] magic and the afterlife in this instalment. We also see Helena have some moments of vulnerability with both Sir Radomir and Bressinger, which made them all the more endearing. 

However, I detested the romantic aspects of Helena and Sir Konrad's relationship. I can understand why Helena would develop these feelings for Sir Konrad, but ultimately, I think he should've known better.
