A violent attack on Lady Giulietta’s son forces Tycho from his new-found happiness and back into the treacherous intrigue of the court. For Giulietta’s sake he would go to the world’s end to track down those responsible. As Venice teeters on the brink of civil war, its feuding families prepare to discover who is a player and who a pawn in the coming struggle for power. The Exiled Blade is the climactic finale to Tycho’s story.

Review "A splendid novel that combines the best elements of metaphysical horror and escapist yarn"―SFX on The Outcast Blade"Grimwood adroitly combines a satisfying complexity with visceral detail and bouts of astounding violence, knit together by suitably Machiavellian intrigue."―Kirkus Reviews on The Fallen Blade"Sharp as a stiletto, dark and dazzling as a masquerade. Grimwood's Venice is totally compelling."―Mike Carey on The Fallen Blade"Gritty, grimy, decadent and compelling"―Sunday Times (UK) on The Fallen Blade"The climax is quick moving and vivid - this is a real page-turner."―RT Book Reviews (4-1/2 Stars) on The Fallen Blade

But there are indeed love triangles, were-beasts, and vampires if you are into that stuff.This is another superbly written, action-packed page-turner of a story that kept me emotionally involved with the main characters and wishing it would never end. I like smart adult fantasy I can lose myself in and this book fit the bill.If you haven't read the first two books in this series, and pretty much everything else by Mr. Grimwood, you're missing out.

Not quite as strong a finish as I would like By Kindle Customer I was so thrilled when I saw this book on the shelves at my local book store that I immediately went home and bought it on my Kindle. Over the first 2 books, I had been ensnared by Tycho, Giuliette, Aunt Alexa and the not so simple Marco. I was eager to see how they would continue to change and grow and how the author would wrap up this story. Let me say first, the kindle edition was plagued by some annoying editing mistakes. Commas were missing through out, which really interfered with my reading enjoyment of the story. I hope this is fixed in an update.As for the story itself, the first half of the book is strong. I don't want to give anything away but after a critical plot point occurs that forces Tycho to leave Vienna and Giuliette, things start to get shakey. And later, after the loss of another pivatol character, the story weakens further. All I can say without giving anything away is that the second part of the story lacks heart and is far too full of battle scenes. There are some other plot contrivances that happen when Tycho meets some mythical creatures in a cave that really didn't have to occur and feel utterly out of place.So many things go wrong for me in the second half of this book. Giuliette's character becomes very flat and two dimentional, Amelia is wasted, and nothing new happens with Tycho. Several plot lines from previous books are never addressed again. And the ending. The ending is simply abrupt, contrived and unsatisfactory on some levels. I was expecting a big pay off for my journey with Tycho and Giuliette and I didn't get it. I was expecting to see a new evolution in Tycho and didn't get that.I know this review is vague but what you are feeling is how I was feeling at the end of the story. Like, is that it? Honestly, the last half of the book felt rushed, as if the goal was just to get something out and tie things up in bow even if that had to happen artificially. So yes, at the end of the journey, I am disappointed. But of course, you still have to read it if you have read the 2 previous books. The second book is still the strongest, like the second movie in the original Star Wars trilogy.I still thank JG for Tycho. He is still one of the most interesting characters I have encountered. I will miss him.
