Dark Fantasy Editorial Review

**** "Shiang: Two Ancient Cities. One Final War" by C. F. Iggulden continues the intricate saga begun in the previous installment of the Empire of Salt trilogy. Though the narrative flows independently, it introduces a fresh set of characters while retaining a few familiar faces from the first book. This shift offers both an opportunity for new stories to unfold and a departure from beloved characters, which could be polarizing for readers. Iggulden's storytelling style remains engaging, drawing readers into an expansive world filled with warriors, magic, and a pervading sense of destiny. Central to this sequel are Gabriel and his band of soldiers-turned-mages, whose quest for dominance sets the stage for a classic confrontation against forces driven by revenge. While the pacing is lively and the climax is an exhilarating culmination of tension, some readers might find portions of the plot to be repetitive or over-the-top in their fantastical elements. The characters, new and returning alike, are well-developed and add depth to the narrative, allowing for moments of humor and introspection. The final chapters of "Shiang" are particularly gripping, leading to a visually stunning and cinematic climax that is sure to resonate with the audience. However, not all critics are convinced; some felt that despite the thrilling finale, elements of boredom and redundancy seeped into the earlier parts of the book. Overall, "Shiang" is an ambitious follow-up that balances entertaining character arcs with an expansive plot, showcasing Iggulden's strengths as a storyteller, although it may not achieve the same level of excitement across the entire narrative. **
