The Spider's War (The Dagger and the Coin #5)
Lord Regent Geder Palliako's great war has spilled across the world, nation after nation falling before the ancient priesthood and weapon of dragons. But even as conquest follows conquest, the final victory retreats before him like a mirage. Schism and revolt begin to erode the foundations of the empire, and the great conquest threatens to collapse into a permanent war of all against all.
In Carse, with armies on all borders, Cithrin bel Sarcour, Marcus Wester, and Clara Kalliam are faced with the impossible task of bringing a lasting peace to the world. Their tools: traitors high in the imperial army, the last survivor of the dragon empire, and a financial scheme that is either a revolution or the greatest fraud in the history of the world.
Reading Daniel Abraham is like putting on my favorite, comfy pajamas and snuggling in to bed with a nice cup of coffee. He is so smooth in these fantasy books, and I hope he doesn't shy away from continuing to write epic fantasy because that would be sad. I couldn't have wanted more from this book, it was everything I hoped the end of the series would be. The story lines we've followed were wrapped up well, and I continued to enjoy my time with our characters. I didn't mean to read this book so
Ok, wow. A solid 5-star end to a great series.The series as a whole was terrific, and I was a bit worried after the 4th book slowed the series down for me. This is one of the best concluding books I've read in a series for a very long time.Highly recommend!
A great conclusion to a great series. Daniel Abraham is the proof that you can execute a fantasy series that is grand in scope, full of rich characters, and manage to keep it all relatively tightly-wound, with five books in the series, each half the size of one of the era's epic fantasy tomes. He started in 2011 and now here he is in 2016 and the series is done. It is really something.The series simply can't touch the likes of The Wheel of Time or A Song of Ice and Fire in terms of its
Executive Summary: A really satisfying ending to an excellent series. I hope that Expanse doesn't keep Mr. Abraham away from fantasy for too long (even though I love that too). 4.5 stars.Audiobook: Pete Bradbury does an excellent job with the narration. I love his voices and the inflections when he reads. My only minor complaint is at times he can be difficult to hear. He's a bit soft spoken, and I wish they had adjusted the volume up a bit to compensate. Overall though, I think audio is an
'... I warn you, not all that are good end well. Not all that are evil are punished...'Well, we can't say he didn't warn us!DAMN, but that was a bloody good series! I honestly think it may be my favourite fantasy series this side of Middle-Earth.I absolutely loved all the characters and, boy, am I going to miss them. Please tell me you're going to take us back to these folks again someday, Mr. Abraham? Pretty please? (view spoiler)[Seriously, I loved these characters so much I even shed a tear
The Antean empire has reached that stage familiar to anybody who's ever played Risk -- it's very late in the game, you've sent your pieces swarming across almost the entire board, leaving effectively no reserves to hold the territory you've taken, and your opponent, having cashed in cards, is ready to start sweeping right back over the territory you took.Well, except in this case on one side you have the priests of the Spider Goddess (who have become the actual driving force behind the Antean

There's little more to say on The Spider's War that I haven't already said about the other Dagger and Coin books. What you need to know is this: Abraham sticks the landing. Everything that makes this series one of the very best in epic fantasy, certainly worthy of the level of success enjoyed by a Martin or a Sanderson, is present in this amazing conclusion. Dagger and Coin is truly a groundbreaking work, with some of the best characterization I've ever read in the genre, and the kind ofReading Daniel Abraham is like putting on my favorite, comfy pajamas and snuggling in to bed with a nice cup of coffee.
