Narration Concering Books The Spider's War (The Dagger and the Coin #5)
The epic conclusion to The Dagger and The Coin series, perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin.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.

Fantastic ending to a great series!! 🐲A logical and satisfying end to a fascinating epic fantasy series dealing with the sources, uses and abuses of power and the checks that a society can (or can't) bring to bear on that power.Gedder Palliako and the Priests of the Spider Goddess are finally getting meaningful opposition because of Cithrin bel Sarcour's economic innovation, but the war of the Antean Empire versus the World is nothing compared to the endless battle that will come if the Spider Priests consolidate their foothold in
Spoiler-free review of the entire Dagger & Coin seriesThe author is Daniel Abraham, whom I've only ever encountered before as half of James SA Corey, the pen name Abraham and Ty Franck use as the authors of the Expanse series. I love that series, and the connection is obvious - especially in terms of readability and how easy it is to relate to the characters. This series is almost compulsively readable - even though there were stretches when I felt like not much was happening, I still was
Fantastic ending to a great series!! 🐲
5 star finale to this superlative 5 book series. I found the series to be original and clever: how wars can be fought, won and lost, not only with lives but through currency and economics. I loved all the characters: their flaws and varied motivations; their justifications for their actions; their moral codes; their insecurities, hopes and fears. All are thoroughly explored across the books.Abraham includes 13 races in his world -building- just begging for cinematic exploration. The previous
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
What a finale! The Spiders War is a worthy though somewhat bittersweet ending to an original and (at times) unpredictable fantasy series. Abraham demonstrates how alternating PoVs *should* be used: switching back and forth with skill and cunning, heightening tension and uncertainty in the build-up to the big finish. Moreover, he also takes the time to thoroughly wrap up surviving characters story arcs in a variety of (mostly) satisfying ways, striking a fine balance between breathless action
