Resumen del Editor
The war is over, and army priest Tomas Piety heads home with Sergeant Bloody Anne at his side. But things have changed while he was away: His crime empire has been stolen, and the people of Ellinburg - his people - have run out of food, hope, and places to hide. Tomas sets out to reclaim what was his with help from Anne, his brother, Jochan, and his new gang: the Pious Men. But when he finds himself dragged into a web of political intrigue once again, everything gets more complicated.
As the Pious Men fight shadowy foreign infiltrators in the back-street taverns, brothels, and gambling dens of Tomas' old life, it becomes clear: The war is only just beginning.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"The first in an unmissable series, Priest of Bones is a fresh and compelling take on grimdark fantasy. Mashing together soldiers, gangsters, magic and war into a heady mix that is a hulking big brother to The Lies of Locke Lamora." (Anna Stephens, author of Godblind)

The Downs, the poor district of the city of Avarest, is home to cutthroats and thieves, pickpockets and prostitutes, all of whom pay tribute to one of two powerful crime bosses. It is also home to Aaron Envelar, a disillusioned sellsword known as the Silent Blade, who cares nothing for the criminal overlords or their schemes, who only wants to survive and make a little coin. But when a group of thugs steal his mother’s necklace, the only link he has to his murdered parents, Aaron decides that sometimes gold isn’t enough - sometimes, blood is the only payment worth taking.

Magic, adventure, mystery, and romance combine in this epic debut in which a young princess must reclaim her dead mother’s throne, learn to be a ruler - and defeat the Red Queen, a powerful and malevolent sorceress determined to destroy her. On her 19th birthday, Princess Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, raised in exile, sets out on a perilous journey back to the castle of her birth to ascend her rightful throne. Plain and serious, a girl who loves books and learning, Kelsea bears little resemblance to her mother, the vain and frivolous Queen Elyssa.

Haunted by prophetic dreams, Orhan has hired a company of soldiers to cross the desert to reach the capital city. Once they enter the palace, they have one mission: Kill the emperor, then all those who remain. Only from the ashes can a new empire be built. The company is a group of good, ordinary soldiers for whom this is a mission like any other. But the strange boy Marith who walks among them is no ordinary soldier.

Historia
Fifty thousand gun-toting paladins march behind him, all baptized in angel blood, thirsty to burn unbelievers. Only the janissaries can stand against them. Their living legend, Kevah, once beheaded a magus amid a hail of ice daggers. But ever since his wife disappeared, he spends his days in a haze of hashish and poetry. To save the kingdom, Kevah must conquer his grief and become the legend he once was. But Micah writes his own legend in blood, and his righteous conquest will stop at nothing. When the gods choose sides, a legend will be etched upon the stars.

Historia
Wen Alder was born into two worlds. On his father’s side, a legacy of proud loyalty and service to the god-like Sienese Emperor spanning generations. And it is expected that Alder, too, will follow this tradition by passing the imperial exams, learning the accepted ways of magic and, if he serves with honor, enhancing his family's prominence by rising to take a most powerful position in Sien—the Hand of the Emperor. But from his mother he has inherited defiance from the Empire, a history of wild gods and magic unlike anything the Imperial sorcerers could yet control.

All legends are born of truths. And just as much lies. These are mine. Judge me for what you will. But you will hear my story first. I buried the village of Ampur under a mountain of ice and snow. Then I killed their god. I've stolen old magics and been cursed for it. I started a war with those that walked before mankind and lost the princess I loved, and wanted to save. I've called lightning and bound fire. I am legend. And I am a monster.

The Kingdom of Alanya is home to mystic warriors and mischievous djinns, vulgar poets and vain philosophers, soaring simurghs and scheming shahs. Little do the people know that a power struggle between an ancient sorceress and an upstart sultana threatens to bathe the sands in bile and bones. A bloody cauldron boils, and primeval gods laugh while they stir it. As warhorses charge, arrows shower, and cannon shots brighten the night, all must choose a side.

Familiar but well done
This book is at some points a 1 to 1 screen to print retelling of Peaky Blinders. However, it brings enough to the table for it to hold it’s own as a solid book.
If you enjoy low/grim fantasy settings and gangster mob stories, this is the book for you. It’s also narrated extremely well.

I loved it
I've followed Peter McLean for a while now on social media because he's smart and he's funny, but I took a woefully long time to read one of his books. I hesitated because I thought something called "grimdark" might be too dark for me. But I shouldn't have hesitated because it wasn't too dark. And just like Peter's social media posts, "Priest of Bones" is both smart & funny.
"Priest of Bones" is about Thomas Piety, the leader of a criminal gang called the Pious Men. Before the war, Thomas controlled the typical assortment of organized crime businesses like brothels, taverns, and gambling dens in an industrial city called Ellinberg. But along with every other man between under the age of 40, he was conscripted into the army to fight in a brutal war that lasted three long years. He survived, but like most veterans, he was left with some deep emotional scars.
At the beginning of Priest of Bones, the war is over at last and Thomas heads home, determined to pick up where he left off. But he returns to the city to find that another gang had stolen his turf and there's nothing left of his once prosperous criminal enterprise. So, with the help of his sergeant, Bloody Anne, and his crazy brother, Jochan, Thomas sets about the task of taking back his businesses.
What follows is the fast-paced, exciting, and fun story of how Thomas methodically and brutally reclaims his territory, one illicit business at a time. The keys to his success are putting the right man (or woman) in the right job, enforcing his zero-tolerance policy for violence against women and child abuse and retribution for incursions into his territory. Anyone who steps over those lines will face harsh justice.
This story is told in first person from Thomas's point of view. He's got a unique and very distinctive voice. Even though he's a foul-mouthed and ruthless criminal who wouldn't hesitate to cut someone's throat when the need arises, I love Thomas Piety.
I highly recommend this audiobook, not just for the story, but also for the excellent narration by John Lee. He was able to give each character a very distinctive voice. It was also refreshing to listen to a book that was done with a Yorkshire accent (similar to Sean Bean) rather than a London accent.

An entertaining listen
Found this a bit refreshing. The hero is basically a mob boss with a bit a honor. A bit meaning he won't kill you just because, but he will kill you if you need killing.

Now this is a must read! 5 Stars
I picked this up because of John Lee and I was not disappointed with the story or narration. This was nothing less than a masterpiece that I have been overlooking all this time. I know they say the narrator doesn’t add much to the books, but those were the old days. Now I look at the narrator especially if I listen to the sample and read the little synopsis and can’t tell if I like it, they make the final call for me. John Lee caused me to pick this up and he carried the story with his narration, but the story was majestic in its own way. This story caused me to be so focus and drawn in that I purchased all 4 books right after finishing the first half of this one. I was locked in, and I normally don’t do that. The only bad thing is that they didn’t have John Lee do the last two books, but the story was still enchanting from chapter 1 book 1 to the last.
PS: This isn’t a children’s book, it’s dark and real with the violence, which is woven in to make it seamless, which I love.

A great book for a slump
I can really drag my feet with new books, especially the start of a new series, but this story gripped right away. It is very much “Peaky Blinders but fantasy”- but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. It felt a little familiar, and made it easy to jump in. I’m in the middle of the third book in the series now, and can confidently recommend diving in. I cant wait to listen more tomorrow.

Amazing
This was the perfect grim dark story of might makes right. The MC is a character you really care about even when he is makes tough decisions. The drama is not so over the top that you think everything sucks. The story follows a fun but dark path where what needs to be done is done, and you feel you would do the same give the circumstances. The action is amazing and you feel like you are right there.
The narrator is amazing!

Absolutely one of my favorite all time series!
NOTE: This is a review of the entire series, not just Book 1. No spoilers.
I first met Tomas Piety soon after the audiobook for Priest of Bones was added to Audible in 2018. I’d been searching for something new, in one of those lulls between really great favorites. I liked the sound of the book in the description. I’m so glad I did, because now this series is one of those all-time favorites that I use to judge future materials.
There are a few unique features that make this a recommendation I will likely always give to any reader. It’s about adults, for one thing. I’m not talking about adult-like material, since the so-called YA movement has been quite dark for a long time. It’s the characters who are adult. Full-grown, way past the coming-of-age tropes, and already well established in personality. And oh boy, McLean takes us into this world through a first-person POV via the most believable narrator I’ve ever read. Every word is true to Tomas. There are no exposition dumps or awkward conversations that may intrude on a first-person POV. It’s truly one of the most faithful-to-character voices I’ve read.
Another difference in this series and many others is the distinct lack of romance. Just like many readers, I do appreciate romance in its many forms. At the same time, it’s annoying to have it front and center in every single book. It becomes a forced subject and a distraction from the plot that actually is the bones of the story. If you like pizza, you don’t decide to have it for every single meal, and for once there is a book that has decided if romance doesn’t further the plot or enhance characters, it isn’t necessary. There are love interests, and some relationships that are very important for the full series, but it’s where it needs to be and in the amounts it should be. Again, we’re talking about full-grown adults here, and if there’s one thing that makes me scream loudest in YA, it’s the idea that no one can take a step forward or solve a problem without first making sure the love interest is in place.
There are many sensitive subjects that McLean approaches masterfully. If you’re already a grimdark fan, then you’re familiar with the themes. There’s war, the resulting PTSD, the terrible choices one has to make in a violent world, and living with those choices afterward. There are some subjects that could trigger others, such as mention of sexual abuse, domestic violence, and hate crimes. However, while I understand that my sensitivity is not as high in these topics, I truly believe that the way McLean approaches these subjects is extremely tactful, and every trigger is a point that is pertinent to the plot and character growth throughout the series.
The ending of this series will blow you away. I don’t say that lightly. I can’t even say that I exactly love what happened, but I’ll say this: It’s one of the more perfect endings I’ve ever read. If you’ve read Stephen King’s Misery, Annie Wilkes has a discussion with the author Paul about endings, and how she hated endings that ‘cheated.’ Well, this is no cheat. To do anything different may have left the reader with a great feeling, a nice little warm happily ever after, but that would have been so completely unfair and cheating that I’m so glad Peter McLean followed Tomas’s lead.
NARRATION: I like John Lee, but he does have a particular kind of cadence to his speech that can wear on me after a long listening session. However, I really think that his speech & voice were perfect for Tomas. When I saw the change in narrator on book 3, I was a little leery. Any audio fan will know that initial displacement of having a suddenly different narrator. It’s not even about whether they’re good or bad, it’s DIFFERENT than the one we’d gotten used to, and that’s just sometimes uncomfortable. I read lots of very long, complex series, and no matter how much I love both narrators, the initial change can be jarring. In this, however, again I was completely happily surprised. David Morley Hale is certainly not the same voice but he did homage I believe to both John Lee’s original Tomas and the character as well. Don’t worry about that change if you’re listening to the audio version of these books.
