Today begins my journey through @JohnGwynne_’s Banished Lands series, beginning with Malice. This thread will be all thoughts as I read Faithful & The Fallen, followed by Of Blood & Bone.

My thanks in advance to @PetrikReads for convincing me to buy 7 novels by an author I& #39;ve never read before just off of the strength of his reviews.
You have a hell of a talent in sales, my good man.

Evnis seems like a super creepy POV character I’m not used to. Like, as in if Littlefinger had gotten POV chapters. #Faithfulandthefallen
Bleeding oathstones. No one finds this END OF TIMES-y?
OMG I want to punch Rafe in the nuts. #Faithfulandthefallen
The list of characters and locations at the beginning of Malice are reminding me of how I felt when I started reading A Game of Thrones. So many characters and locations. (This isn’t a criticism, btw)
I wish I cared enough to save a giant man-eating wolf from quicksand. Pretty sure they would be like “hey, thanks for saving me...and providing my dinner.” #FaithfulandtheFallen
Already 100 pages in and liking this a lot. Some highlights are the Kastell/Maquin running from the giants, Veradis jumping through fire to do his duty, the strange dreams Corban is having that I& #39;m sure is some wicked foreshadowing, and Evnis doing some shady shit.
* A new POV character on page 122*
Me: Huh.
*A new POV character that is an outlaw*

Also, it’s probably the WoT recency, but I’m pronouncing the name Camlin as I would Caemlyn. I don’t even care if that’s wrong. #FaithfulAndTheFallen
Trying to decide is Prince Nathair is really honorable and that I like him, or if he& #39;s reckless and I still like him.
These are the tough choices. #FaithfulandtheFallen

Corban, you a mad man. And I love that about you. If you’d save a full grown (and hungry) wolven, I’d always expect you to do the same with a pup. Great scene. #FaithfulandtheFallen
Update: Faithful & The Fallen is really good. ASOIAF fans would dig this. #FaithfulandtheFallen #JohnGwynne #Malice
Damn! Giants and Draigs and glorious battle. For the first actual large conflict in this series, that was great. Nathair might be that dude. I& #39;m here for the Nathair/Veradis bromance. #FaithfulAndTheFallen
Good morning, Mr. @JohnGwynne_, if you have a second I was curious on the correct pronunciation for Cywen. I have been reading it as SY-WHEN but someone else has told me it is KY-WHEN and another has even said it is CO-WHEN. I appreciate the pointers and loving Malice so far!
Tull vs Morcant was legit. I was worried for a second. Rhin was all pissy and Tull was like
This battle reads as very @LordGrimdark to me. So, naturally, I’m a fan. #FaithfulAndtheFallen #Malice #JohnGwynne
This will be up tomorrow around lunch. My time. As in Houston, TX

Wyrms are one of the most fascinating yet terrifying things in all of high fantasy. Gwynne is definitely leaning towards the terrifying in this book. #FaithfulandtheFallen #Malice
This book is going to crazy town. In a good way.
