About this ebook
Arnhand, Castauriga, and Navaya lost their kings. The Grail Empire lost its empress. The Church lost its Patriarch, though he lives on as a fugitive. The Night lost Kharoulke the Windwalker, an emperor amongst the most primal and terrible gods. The Night goes on, in dread. The world goes on, in dread. The ice builds and slides southward.
New kings come. A new empress will rule. Another rump polishes the Patriarchal Throne.
But there is something new under the sun. The oldest and fiercest of the Instrumentalities has been destroyed--by a mortal. There is no new Windwalker, nor will there ever be.
The world, battered by savage change, limps toward its destiny. And the ice is coming.
Working God's Mischief is the savage, astounding new novel of The Instrumentalities of Night, by Glen Cook, a modern master of military fantasy.

The fourth title in the Instrumentalities of Night felt like a distant cousin to its predecessor the Black Company. Glen Cook concentrates on the dramatics between characters rather than the nitty gritty of each sword stroke in battles both large and small. Gods made flesh and vendettas dressed in religiosity of the Crusades share the table with 16th century warfare in a 12th century style setting. A curious mix indeed. But climax is only the ending of the Twilight. This tome felt curiously unfinished.

The series improves and the fourth book is the best so far. Enjoyed myself reading this one.
