The First Weapon is the follow up novel to The Awakening, and the second in The Triumvirate. It continues the story of Hwenfayre, Shanek and Aldere, as well as that of those who oppose them.
Hwenfayre has discovered the truth of who she is, and as a result of her actions at the Wrested Islands, she has been placed onto a remote island. However, without self-control the powers she has unleashed will grow to consume her. In the north of Asan, Shanek continues to hunt the Skrin Ti’ak. However, the more he hunts, the further from his people he becomes as he slowly loses all that he was. Meanwhile, the enemies of the Triumvirate continue to plot and scheme for their downfall.
In all, I found this to be an enjoyable novel, and a solid follow up to the story that was started in The Awakening. Bevan McGuiness continues to create a new and wonderful world for his readers, and I am eagerly looking forward to see how it all finishes.
