Tag Archives: Relentless Blades

Russell Carroll’s Relentless Blades is a visceral, well-crafted entry into dark fantasy, following a knight, a disgraced thief, and a conflicted half-skron guide as they race an empire to stop the awakening of world-dominating dragon hatchlings. Its greatest strength is character work, particularly the empathetic handling of Vigilanton’s near-illiteracy and Grimlock’s identity struggle, backed by cinematic combat and immersive world-building.
