It is unclear because the Padishah Emperor forbade any sort of survey or open records to be kept of the occurrences on Salusa Secundus. It is sad that it ends now but if i think through – an amazing trilogy of awesmeness is better than 10 books with huge ups and downs like a rollercoaster.

No matter who you have in your life, or who you do not have, I hope your day is filled with love and amazing books. Not sure if you found the page on this site, but Tor US has already released the cover — more Richard Anderson artwork.Also, the secondary characters were more interesting than the main ones like Pyrre, Kiel and Nira (only reason I did not skip Adare’s chapters altogether). not that it was important but there is absolutely positively no inkling of a romance in this book which sucked a little for me since I totally ship Valyn and Gwenna. The process of reflection, internalizing, and then taking that learning into a new application is key to meaning-making. Adare, Triste , Gwenna, Annick, Pyrre, Nira, are ALL amazing in their own different ways, and it's absolutely beautiful to read about each of them. The Providence of Fire is a superb 2nd book of a trilogy, it clearly doesn’t suffer from the infamous 2nd book syndrome as it improved upon almost everything in the first book.

Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne Series - Goodreads

Brian Staveley's The Providence of Fire, the second novel in the Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, a gripping new epic fantasy series.Like the Spartans of the old earth, the weak were filtered out from the strong at birth, and the healthy from the sick. Though a suggestive synopsis of her part of the plot occupies one third of the blurb, and in retrospect she seems central to the overall arc of the otherwise ambitious narrative this book begins, Adare hardly features in the novel at all. Nothing worked out for him throughout the book, he was caught between a rock and a hard place all the time. Brian Staveley has gifted readers with a vivid and visceral universe, peopled with likeable but very human characters.
