Again, the story is split between numerous PoV characters, which at times is a little annoying (especially as some of them really are bit-part characters barely mentioned in the rest of the story and are only there to witness events). Whereas before the story followed perhaps three different adventures with little overlap, there is now a much wider scope to the overall plot with a number of different battles, sieges, journeys, confrontations all happening at the same time and the story generally chops and changes between these. At times in all three books now I have felt that the same thing is being told numerous times, everyone loses their father and looks for revenge, numerous people are betrayed by their brother, two interchangeable young heirs to different thrones are on the run from those seeking to end their claim to that throne etc. And the number of times groups just happen to cross paths in what is supposed to be a massive, dense, unnavigable forest, often just at the right time, is frankly preposterous. While some of the characters and some plot devices aren't great, the story telling and world building is brilliant. Once you remember who the character is and what they were doing last chapter (sometimes 100 pages ago!) it really is very gripping reading. Now that we (and they) know who the good guys and bad guys are, the balance in strength is constantly shifting as people change sides, massive warbands are wiped out in battle or castles taken/re-taken and groups flee through the forest. There is a lot of ground to cover in the last book of the series, but with all the main groups now zeroing in on the same area I expect this to be done to a satisfactory conclusion with the same pace as shown here. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bright star and Black Sun *by P***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2016* Third volume in the 'Faithful and the Fallen' series of fantasy novels.This series began with 'Malice'. And this volume isn't a jumping on point, because there is nothing here to bring new readers up to speed. So they start with Malice.Regular readers of the series, read on.And be aware:This is not a trilogy. It was never billed as such on any of the books. Nor did they say how long the series would be. So perhaps we are all guilty of assumption. But don't go into this thinking it will end the story. Because it doesn't. And it will work better if you know that in advance.This volume runs for seven hundred and forty six pages. It is divided into ninety three chapters. There's a map of the setting at the start. Plus a cast of characters. Nice having that at the front because it makes it easier to refer to if needs be.Because there are a lot of characters here. And a lot of those are viewpoint characters. This will change for every chapter. All ninety three of them. Often characters will be in groups or pairs and one will be the viewpoint character for one chapter and then another from same group or pair for the next chapter. Which actually works quite well and is pretty neat.Anyhow, as a tale of war in a fantasy kingdom, this progresses nicely. If you read a lot of fantasy and it's been a while since you read the last one in the series, it can take a while to get back into the next volume when you pick it up. This isn't too much of a problem here, as it did all come back to me quite quickly.A lot of it is very good indeed. But it's a long book and not being the end means there are parts which perhaps could be stronger and shorter. But for the bulk of it, this is a very solid continuation of a very good series. And a pretty good read. Just being not the end of the story does take it down slightly from five stars. It does of course end on a huge cliffhanger. For the next book to resolve.So not entirely perfect, but still a decent read in a very good series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No way did it finish there! *by S***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2015* Ok first off I knew that this wasn't the final instalment, somehow I have ended up in correspondence with John- I'm sure that I'm not the only one- & he takes the time to keep me/us updated- so I sort of pester him to type faster!I won't put any spoilers in but suffice to say some characters that have been there from the start don't make it, he doesn't appear to have fallen in to the trap of everything going wrong then miraculously not consequently leaving the reader feeling that the author run out of ideas.There is no way that you can read Ruin as a stand alone, way too many characters to juggle & there are plot lines firing off everywhere. If you are new to the story, start at the beginning & hopefully by the time that you are ready for number 4 it will be out! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/105256659-by-john-gwynne-author-ruin-faithful-and-the-fallen-by](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/105256659-by-john-gwynne-author-ruin-faithful-and-the-fallen-by) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
