Princeps' Fury

How it reads

Princeps' Fury is fantasy (military epic fantasy, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in an invented world, in no single period, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are war, power and politics and coming of age. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.

It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. It ends on a cliffhanger, so have the next book ready. At 386 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
