So, out of my Goodreads friends who have read this book, the percentage who have loved it? One Hundred Percent. Which makes me feel like this: The odd man out. But I'm not gonna lie: me and this book had a rough go. I don't even know if it's the book's fault. It could just be me, and the fa...

I'm really struggling to express how much I enjoyed this book. As far as fantasy goes, this book has a certain nerdy, coolness factor to it that I can't quite describe... it's like Staveley went around and asked everyone what their favourite parts of fantasy were, cut the bullshit and created a mast...

This book is all things fantastic! Fantastic story, fantastic writing, fantastic characters and one hell of an ending! When will we get more?? For me this book gets shelved along side Melina Marchetta's Lumatere Chronicles, for those similar qualities. The book is written from 3 different poi...

While we may only be a month into 2014, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Brian Staveley may just have the debut of the year with The Emperor's Blades. This was a book that reminded me, in different ways, of my first encounters with the likes of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss. I...
