Hello friends!

Ive been a while but I am back!

Decided to re-read The Traitor Son Cycle. I read The Red Knight (TRK) last year but sadly have forgotten tiny bits and pieces and want a quick recap before I dive into The Fell Sword.

Does anyone have a decent summary? Or can tell mehow it ends again?

I recall they meet a certain someone right at the end at the Inn of Dorling who gives them some gifts.

I might just re-read the final chapter of TRK and hope for the best

Please help friends

Thanks

Steamer

Honestly if you remember the broad strokes it's probably better not to get hung up on the details, because some of them change. There's a very GotM thing where Cameron clearly decided on a different direction between the writing and publication of book 1 and writing the rest, and has to awkwardly maneuver some character interactions to get them where he wants them to be. Also just forgot some things (iirc at least one character's name changes with no warning, although that's a small enough detail it's possible it was cleared up in later editions, I don't know).

Thanks friend!!

Assuming the whole series is worth reading then?

Also please recommend me some other "lesser known" series that you hve enjoyed.

Im a seasoned fantasy reader so anything in the grimdark, malazan-ish theme would be absolutley perfect!

Ash: A Secret History comes to mind.

There's also Master Assassins by Robert Redick, Six Gun Tarot, Senlin Ascends, The Deathless, The Incorruptibles, A Crown for Cold Silver, the Raksura books, and The Fifth Season.

I'm reading The Red Knight right now - enjoying it a lot!
