The Providence of Fire Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne Book II Brian Staveley 9780765336415 Books Reviews

Adare, Valyn and Kaden all have been set on different paths by their father. Now with his death, they each use the skills they have to try to unravel the plot to end their family's ruling of the Unhewn Throne.

This book took a bit to develop. The first 200 pages were a little slow and the plot took awhile to wind up. But once the build-up was completed, the story took on a pace that was breathtaking and lived up to the promise of the first book. And the ending? Leaves you wanting so much more in the best way possible!

This is a great fantasy series. I would give it easily a 4.5 star rating. The characters are complicated and the story takes you to unexpected places. I can't wait to read the third book.
Compared to the first book this one just moved along at the same pace and maybe even slower until the last 50 pages.

However, I got very annoyed with the characters.
Do you think they could STOP and LISTEN just once. Just once before acting. and the answer is NOPE!

But it is a good book and I am ready for the third.
I hope the characters learn in the next book
I almost quick reading several times but slogged through to the end. I wish I hadn't.
There is more gore and relentless pain and suffering in this book than any ten others I've read. Why so much?
There was a tremendous amount of filler scene descriptions BD angst in the characters minds. I will not read the last book.
While the first book in the series was promising, this second installment was a massive disappointment. I found myself skimming page after page to find out if anything of consequence had occurred and what little did was improbable to say the least. The three main protagonist seemed childish and lost. Page after page finds them just stumbling along from one unrealistic scenario to another. I won't waste my time on money on any future books in the series.
The Providence of Fire is everything I wanted from a sequel and more. This definitely took pretty much all the slight problems I had with the first book and rectified it. Although this book did suffer from a roughly slow start, once we got about a 1/3 of the way through it took off at a break neck speed.

I have to say the best thing about this series, hands down, is the world building. Brian Staveley has created such a complex, yet intriguing world all at the same time. This book especially dived so deep into the mythology of the world, it was amazing. From learning more about the Csestriim, to the leaches, to the gods, everything was engrossing. He didn't just throw all of this information at you either. It was sprinkled throughout the entire story and you were informed when you needed to be.

The characters are the next best thing. First I just wanted to say that Adare had her time to shine in this novel. She went from having only like 5 chapters in the last book to actually being a true part to the three main characters of the story next to her brothers. Each story arc that involved one of the siblings was impeccable. The development was top notch and since this book isn't very action driven, the character development really helped this story be amazing. These three siblings went on such a journey and they all ended up very different people by the end of this novel.

Lastly the story itself starts off fairly slow, it is pretty much a beginning that tries to get each character to their starting destination. Once all that happens the plot really kicks in. I found it hard to put this book down when I was reading it. Brian Staveley also knows how to write some intense final moments. Those last a hundred pages or so were stressful.

I am really excited to see how this is all wrapped up. I believe Staveley has already laid a solid foundation and it should be quite interesting to see where are characters end up in the end!
When I first finished this book, it took me several hours to even begin to write down my feelings. More than a year later, and I still don’t have the words necessary to begin to do justice to this series.

I struggled with the review for The Emperor’s Blades, partly because fantasy is my home in genre reading, but mostly because I had no idea how my mere words could stand up to the beauty and majesty that was created by Brian Staveley. I face a similar, or worse, problem now. In The Emperor’s Blades I fell in love with the Malkeenians and their world. I walked with them every step of their struggle, journey, surprise, and betrayal. InProvidence of Fire I was taken several (hundred) steps further.

We see so much more of the wide world in this book, so much more of the tapestry is filled in. The travels of our main characters take us to the far reaches of the kingdom, and beyond. Every step taught us something new about the world, and about the people in it. I always had such a beautiful sense of place while reading. I could see the steppes, feel the heat from the Everburning Well, taste the glacial water, the smell of smoke wafted to my nose as I read. Every single word, description and scene pulled me further in and immersed me.

As I traveled with the characters I’ve grown to love so much, I was present as they faced impossible odds, terrifying obstacles, and painful decisions, along with the occasional glorious victory. I can’t say much about the actual journey that is taken, the twists and turns, the compelling cases presented. Suffice it to say that I was on the edge of my seat, never sure what to believe, never sure who – if anyone – I could trust. I began repeating a litany to myself of ‘Trust No One’. I’m not sure, even now, if I’ve been fooled once, twice, or many, many times. I have theories on top of theories, speculations that I can barely piece together, and hopes – oh so many hopes – for the third book, for everyone in these pages that has come to mean so much to me.

And there are so many characters I’m invested in. Valyn, Kaden, and Adare continue to be the primary POV characters; the ones that we’re following on this mission to save the empire, their family, and their people. As I rushed through the pages of this book I was surprised – though I’m not sure why – at how much I was invested in all three of them. Though I fretted every time I left one, I was immediately anxious to see what was going on with the next. I struggled next to these three as they made decisions that weren’t simply between ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ but between ‘wrong’ and ‘less-wrong’. Sometimes there was no good answer. There’s a quote in the book that I think encapsulates everything all three struggle with

It had been a long time since he’d felt as though he had a true choice…each decision looked like the wrong one now, but at the time they hadn’t seemed like decisions at all. Instead of contemplating a series of forking paths, [he] felt as though he’d been racing a treacherous track, just a half step ahead of his foes, no time to look either back or forward.

It’s not just the Malkeenians, but people on all sides of the conflict that have difficult choices to make. Even when I railed against some of the decisions made, I understood why they were being made. It seems a long time since I’ve been able to say that there are at least a dozen additional characters that I’m truly invested in. Pyrre, Rampuri Tan, Ran il Tornja, Triste, Gwenna, Talal, Laith, Annick and a few new ones that I won’t name and risk spoiling anyone’s surprise. Each of them has found a place in – if not my heart, then my mind. I can’t stop thinking about all of them.

Brian Staveley weaves beauty with his words, ensnaring the senses and filling the surrounding air with the world he’s created. I’m in awe of his ability and I look forward to everything to come in his career. Most especially, right now, the third book in the Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne series.
Couldn't put it down for the first half, then the protagonists start making choices that make absolutely no sense. Took weeks to finish something I read in days previously.
