![]() ![]() ![]() If you have fantasy readers who haven’t yet discovered The Nameless City, please get the books into their hands. Faith Erin Hicks is gifted at writing and rendering emotion, and colorist Jordie Bellaire makes thoughtful choices that bring out the terrible emotional cost of battle as beautifully as she does the gentle moments of love between parent and child, or between two friends who would die for one another. It certainly makes for a more tragic villain. It’s been said that the best villains are the ones who believe they’re truly the heroes, and that certainly holds true for Erzi, who believes he is doing what’s best for The Nameless City, and who believes that rule of the Named is his birthright, having been born there. Rat and Kai have both had their heroes’ journeys and are smarter, stronger, wiser characters than they were at the outset. Faith Erin Hicks has given readers strong characters with complex backgrounds and relationships, and a grand-scale story about a clash between cultures and societies who are tired of war. ![]() The Nameless City saga has incredible worldbuilding and storytelling. ![]()
