More a 3.5 star read, the end was just heartbreakingly perfect, exactly what was to happen, not an easy end but a right end.
How do you fight against impossible odds? Twenty years before the opening of Aidan Harte's Irenicon, an unnatural wave ripped through the city of Rasenna and ended their resistance against the Concordian Empire. Since then, the city has torn itself apart as factions fight pointless, bloody vendetta....
An interesting, slightly magical alternative late medieval Italian setting with an interesting take on Christianity - the lore of which is a major part of the story. Particularly enjoyed the descriptions of the banner-based martial art.
