Today, courtesy of the publisher, we are hosting an awesome giveaway for Robert Jackson Bennett’s City of Blades, sequel to the excellent City of Stairs.
ABOUT THE BOOK
A new novel from Robert Jackson Bennett, set in the same world as his much acclaimed CITY OF STAIRS – finalist for 2015 World Fantasy, Locus and British Fantasy awards.
A generation ago, the city of Voortyashtan was the stronghold of the god of war and death, the birthplace of fearsome supernatural sentinels who killed and subjugated millions.
Now, the city’s god is dead. The city itself lies in ruins. And to its new military occupiers, the once-powerful capital is a wasteland of sectarian violence and bloody uprisings.
So it makes perfect sense that General Turyin Mulaghesh— foul-mouthed hero of the battle of Bulikov, rumored war criminal, ally of an embattled Prime Minister—has been exiled there to count down the days until she can draw her pension and be forgotten.
At least, it makes the perfect cover story.
The truth is that the general has been pressed into service one last time, dispatched to investigate a discovery with the potential to change the world–or destroy it.
The trouble is that this old soldier isn’t sure she’s still got what it takes to be the hero.

September 30, 2015 at 12:06 pmOh, I simply adored City of Stairs. It was the first book I’d read of Robert Jackson Bennett’s, but I knew it wasn’t going to be the last. Really looking forward to City of Blades.

September 30, 2015 at 12:09 pmI’m in the middle of City of Stairs right now. The language requires careful reading, which slows progress, but it’s worth the effort. City of Blades can’t come too soon.

September 30, 2015 at 2:17 pmI read this last month and it was SO enthralling. I can’t wait for City of Blades because let’s be honest, Mulaghesh was one of the best parts of City of Stairs. Thanks for doing this giveaway! Not sure what I’ll do if I have to wait until January to read it!

October 1, 2015 at 11:06 amI admit it – it’s still sitting on my monumentally high (in a virtual way, mostly) “To Be Read” pile. But it’s on the “Don’t lose track of this, it should be good” pile, as opposed to the “Why did I get this?” pile.
