So much so that I had to overhaul my entire review and write with new eyes. Reading Tower Lord by Anthony Ryan for the second time offered me a few insights I had missed the first time around. Every climax, expression, reaction, name it was spot on. What he pulled off is not something for the faint-hearted. At that point alone, Anthony Ryan had already earned himself 5 Stars from me.

Reading this novel, I marvelled at the organisation and progression of the fragmented plots, his rock solid memorable characters, his eerily descriptive narrative, the sheer genius of the plot, it’s flawless execution and all that. Nersa and the guards spent a half hour searching before it was found amongst the surrounding heather. Lyrna looked at the tree, drew her arm back and threw the knife as hard as she could.
