The fourth book in Django Wexler's The Shadow Campaigns The weather is growing warmer, but the frosty threat of Vordan's enemies is only growing worse...

As the roar of the guns subsides and the smoke of battle clears, the country of Vordan is offered a fragile peace. After their shattering defeats at the hands of brilliant General Janus bet Vhalnich, the opposing powers have called all sides to the negotiating table in hopes of securing an end to the war. Queen Raesinia of Vordan is anxious to see the return of peace, but Janus insists that any peace with the implacable Sworn Church of Elysium is doomed to fail. For their Priests of the Black, there can be no truce with heretics and demons they seek to destroy, and the war is to the death. Soldiers Marcus d'Ivoire and Winter Ihernglass find themselves caught between their general and their queen. Now, each must decide which leader truly commands their loyalty and what price they might pay for final victory. And in the depths of Elysium, a malign force is rising. Defeating it might mean making sacrifices beyond anything they have ever imagined.

Review

'A fascinating world of dust and bayonets and muskets ... and magic' ― SM Stirling, New York Times-bestselling author

'Gritty, brutal, and yet wonderfully intimate ... exceptional military fantasy' -- Jason M Hough, New York Times-bestselling author

'A mash-up of seventeenth-century technology and demon-summoning assassins' ― Publishers Weekly

'Wexler knows his stuff and makes it interesting for you to read... One of the things that sets The Shadow Campaigns apart from most of the other fantasy series currently out there [is] the military influence and how well it is incorporated into the world that Wexler has created' ― The Tattooed Book Geek

'At last, a good book. A really good book, with a decent, understandable map' ― Concatenation

I’ve read the others in this series and have been impressed by the consistency of the quality of the writing. Plotting is good with sufficient twists, characters have depth and the action scenes are first rate. Wexler has constructed an excellent fantasy world with depth and believability.

I’d start at the beginning though, read the novellas too. This is very well done fantasy and is thoroughly enjoyable.

Enough of the girl warriors. It is just so unrealistic it pulls me out of the book. Yes in history there are accounts of some and this is why they get a mention because it was rare.

I love this series as it has a sense of gritty ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2016

Verified Purchase

Arrrrrrrgggghhh! That was the sound of my frustration on reaching the end of the book. Please write the next installment soon as I really want to know what happens next.

I love this series as it has a sense of gritty realism combined with a story full of all the elements we like to see in a really good fantasy novel. The demonology 'lore' is handled imaginatively, the story twists and turns in unanticipated ways, new mysteries are introduced and the characters grow and develop as they meet and surmount the challenges in their way.

In summary, this is a series that just keeps getting better as it goes along. Highly recommended.

Fantasy at its best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2019

Fantasy should send both impossible and real, and Wexler achieves both in this fourth book of the Shadow Campaigns. Gritty details of battle vies with magical subterfuge. I recommend this series to anyone who takes fantasy seriously. It deserves wide attention.

Much of the later part of the book is just padding (white warriors etc) I just hope the next is much better

Solid book, but I'm worried where this is going...

Reviewed in Canada on 23 November 2018

Verified Purchase

The war between the revolutionary Vordan and it's enemies continues as the brilliant First Consul Janus bet Vhalnich leads the greatest army of the age into the northern wastes to assault the holy city of Elysium- and the secretive Priests of the Black it hides.

Aided by Winter Ihernglass, Marcus D'ivoire and a number of other commanders, Janus continues his secret war against the priests and their demonic servants, the Penitent Damned. But a far more serous threat looms, as the priests cross successive lines in order to stop the victorious army.

The book starts out being a very solid fantasy military fiction, with a decently "epic" scope, as Wexler conducts the marches of various armies across the map, while offering good peeks in the trenches, and weaving in character development, while introducing new characters and expanding the world-building.

The story builds up until a point about four-fifths in, where the "Magic" part of "Muskets & Magic" completely hijacks the plot. A really, really major thing happens, and it threatens to devolve the series" plot from a complex and messy political intrigue where all sides have relatable motivations into a heroes vs a big bad evil conflict, which would be a shame that could undermine the story.

While all the good things about the series are still here- the good pacing, the interesting, if somewhat formulaic characters, the well-written battles and covert action- the turns the plot takes in the end leave me wary of the series' outcome. I've had similar worries about the ending of the "Shadows of the Apt" and several other series where the authors pulled out a pretty generic world-leading threat out of nowhere towards the end of the series, and it doesn't often work out without the diminishing the impact of the series as a whole.

I'm very cautious about how Wexler handles this, as it'd be a real shame to have a generally interesting series devolve into something generic.
