It’s taken me about a year to get this review written, and I’m not sure why. The Justice of Kings and its sequel, The Tyranny of Faith, are now among my favorite books, ever, and it seems that it should be easy to articulate why. (The third book, The Trials of Empire, is out in February.)The Justice of Kings is about Vonvalt, an Imperial Justice of the Sovan Empire, and how he loses his idealism when the Empire begins to crumble around him.
