Dark, kinetic, and compelling; a high-octane tale of faith, identity, and redemption.
Holiday’s third Legend of The Iron Warrior novel pushes its hero into darker, more personal territory, trading a straightforward battle of good and evil for an examination of what happens when a hero’s identity becomes his greatest vulnerability. Sadistic and calculating, Candace Loveless targets people connected to Travis, forcing God’s Champion into a deadly game in which saving innocent lives means exposing painful truths about himself. As Carnage Coast watches, Travis must confront his past while questioning whether he is still worthy of the mantle he carries.
Holiday’s sprawling superhero world remains gleefully larger than life, with colorful villains, explosive confrontations, supernatural powers, and comic-book swagger, while the emotional conflict gives the spectacle weight. Travis is particularly compelling as an enormously powerful yet deeply fallible champion whose anger, guilt, faith, and longing for an ordinary life continually collide with his divine responsibilities. Holiday’s energetic prose and unapologetically heightened world won’t suit readers seeking restrained fantasy, but fans of action-heavy urban fantasy should find plenty to enjoy.
A bold, bruising superhero tale with a surprisingly vulnerable heart.
