Heretic Spellblade: Epilogue

by K.D. Robertson

Six years after saving Doumahr and pushing back the outer beings that invaded his world, Nathan struggles with the one thing all his paranoia, foreknowledge, and planning never prepared him for.

Peace.

Surrounded by his growing children and incessantly busy with the demands of being the world's protector and hero, he enjoys the life he's earned. But it came with sacrifices and even after all he fought for, no peace is perfect.

At any stage, Nathan can accept the invitation from the outer being he defeated and try to understand what he's becoming, as well what he can do to safeguard everything he's built. Some mysteries are best when they remain unsolved, but Nathan wants answers.

Didn't expect this, and frankly, didn't need it to close out the story. Simply not very interesting as an addition to an ambitiously complex series. Nothing is any more resolved than it was at the end of that, so not really worth your time even if you liked the series. Or maybe it is; I'm not you.

Getting a 250-page book of “epilogue” is quite the luxury. It’s now 6 years later, and we get a snapshot of Nathan’s overly tedious life as the immortal shadow emperor (basically), and the inevitable outcome of unprotected sex with 95% of named female characters. There are some hefty exposition dumps detailing the current state of politics and religion in and out of the empire, which felt heavy for the purpose of closing things out. We are also given some pseudo-answers to a few of the questions about outer beings and messengers that don’t really satisfy. I suppose it was cool to see how some of the children are turning out, but otherwise, it’s hard to say this was necessary.

That was great. Regular authors just do a couple of dozen pages for an epilogue but not Mr Robertson no.

This is 250 pages of everything I loved about Heretic Spellblade. Above verything else, I absolutely adored having a glance on Nathan's doubt about fatherhood and his fears about repeting the mistakes of his father.

We got Family time slice of life, politics, Magical Theories, Metaphysical debates with outer beings, the end of a lot of character arcs and a glimpse in the future that we won't be able to know.

I am gonna miss this world like an old friend, I understand the need to move on, but I still have a fool's hope that one day, there will be new stories to tell...
In the meantime, thank you for everything Mr Robertson, what a journey you gifted us.

If I'm going to be honest this series didn't need an epilogue and it certainly didn't need one that was so expository.

This wrapped things up, answered a few questions (that didn't really need to be answered), and gave a snapshot of the setting years after the nearly apocalyptic war came to an end.

If you're a fan of the series then it's more Heretic Spellblade. If you're not a fan then why are you reading a review of book nine in an eight book series?

Wonderful conclusion

Its not often that a long running series like this gets an epilogue. They usually end with the final triumph and a sentence like "And they lived happily ever after".

But real life isn't like that. How a hero handles Peace is often more important than how they won the war. This was a glimpse into Nathan's mind we all wondered about, and answered a lot of lingering questions.

I was quite happy to watch these people pootling about and having a good time. Needless to say, if you don't like them all that much, or haven't read the whole previous series, you should give it a wide berth.
