An Archivist, a rebellious captain and hiw men, Memoridons, and an arrogant Emperor. This is what it took to create a world full of advanture, one which would captivate you till the last page. Like any novel though, this one has its flaws:a whiny narrator, which could have been avoided; and scenes ...
This collection is difficult to review. I didn't dislike it, but on the whole, I found entertaining just half of the stories, and it took me really longer than usual to finish reading. I usually like anthologies because I can discover new authors, or read short stories by authors I know, in this cas...
Veil of the Deserters is everything I was looking for in the highly anticipated follow-up to Scourge of the Betrayer. What Jeff Salyards has crafted here is a rare sequel that actually manages to outdo the first. The stakes here are bigger (and clearer), the world-building is taken to a whole new le...
Writing: 4.5Story/Plot: 4Depth/Detail: 2.5Enjoyment: 4.5I wasn't totally positive what to expect going into Scourge; I've seen reviews pointing both directions, from spectacular to lackluster. What I found was somewhere in between those, but much closer to the spectacular side, in my opinion. The st...
As seen on Stumptown Books.For the right person, this book will be amazing. It has a lot of really great elements - not just blood and guts, but well-choreographed fight scenes, a sentient weapon, a memorable voice, and enough questions to keep the pages turning.Look, I can handle fight scenes. Girl...
I loved it! I have to admit that at the beginning of the novel I wasn't really expecting to like it that much. But the more I read the more I liked the characters that I disliked at the beginning. The plot got interesting too. It is well written and easily understood. I really want to read more now...
Scourge of the Betrayer is another example of the new of gritty or low fantasy being released these days, often featuring cynical and hardened soldiers. What makes this book different is that the tale is told from the much different perspective of a complete outsider, one that is not trusted by the...
This book and I didn't start out on good terms. My distaste for first person limited narration has a long well documented history, but as well documented are the exceptions when a story and the writing ascends the chosen method. I fear this wasn't one of those times for me.The plot is simplistic. An...
I actually finished Scourge of the Betrayer last week, but it's taken me a few days to decide precisely how to approach a review. It's such an oddly structured novel, and one that forgoes so many genre cliches, I wanted to give myself time to separate the novelty of the reading experience from the s...
