Lady Vincenza, or Vintage, again plays a key role. Once again the story brings our favourite characters to the table. The other thing that I would mention is that this is a book that is a little difficult to review without giving away spoilers for the first book or indeed for the content of The Bitter Twins so I’m really going to avoid discussion of the plot and limit my review to the writing, characters and world building. Noon, a young woman who can harness the green, mysterious winnow flame by snapping life energy from plants/animals. The story picks up immediately after the conclusion of No.1 and there is no recap of previous events so if you haven’t read the first book then I strongly recommend you stop right here, don’t read this review, simply go and pick up the first book. Before reviewing The Bitter Twins I would point out that it is necessary to read the Ninth Rain first. 'The Winnowing' is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov. Join the heroes of THE NINTH RAIN as they battle a terrible evil, the likes of which Sarn has never known.The Bitter Twins is the second instalment of Jen Williams’ Winnowing Flame Trilogy and is an excellent second in series that demonstrates William’s ability to create a richly woven world, full of history and religion and characters that are a delight to read and fall in love with. The key to uniting them, according to the scholar Vintage, may lie in a part of Sarn no one really believes exists - a distant island, mysteriously connected to the fate of two legendary Eborans who disappeared long ago.īut finding it will mean a perilous journey in a time of war, while new monsters lie in wait for those left behind. Tormalin the Oathless has no taste for sitting around waiting to die while the realm of his storied ancestors falls to pieces - talk about a guilt trip. The Ninth Rain is the first book in The Winnowing Flame Trilogy by Jen Williams. Hatched too soon and with no memory of their past incarnations, these onetime defenders of Sarn can barely stop bickering, let alone face an ancient enemy who grow stronger each day. The Winnowing Flame Trilogy by Jen Williams The Ninth Rain The great city of Ebora once glittered with gold.

But these are not the great winged warriors of old. Tormalin the Oathless and the fell-witch Noon have their work cut out rallying the first war-beasts to be born in Ebora for three centuries. jam-packed with breath-taking inventiveness' James Oswald
