Why read it?
1 author picked The Heresy Within as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Grimdark fantasy is a favourite of mine, full of morally ambiguous, vivid characters. The Heresy Within is a great example of this.

From Jamie's list on dark characters, dark sorcery, or dark age history.
