A classic fantasy world with rich in-depth details that make it feel unique, excellent pacing, and a cast of interesting characters that don’t make you wonder if the author’s ever met a human woman. This book checks all the boxes and also it’s fun to read

The audiobook was difficult to take in. The narrators strong accent and the weird singing was a bit much for me.

The aim of the journey was interesting, but did not like the narrator. Events got lost in quirkiness.

I absolutely loved the start of Blacktongue Thief. I thought the introduction to Kinch and the world around him was incredibly rich and compelling. I couldn't wait for that kind of detail to be put into the rest of the book. But after the first 100 pages or so, I felt like the book changed. It never grew wearisome, by any means. But it definitely felt like it grew into an otherwise average fantasy story with average fantasy writing. I described it to a friend as a video game that spent all of its time on a vertical slice of a game to win over a publisher, and then having much more limited budget to finish the rest of the game. Strangely different experiences.
