A review by jameseckman
Book of the Night by Oliver Pötzsch
3.0
I wave my orb of discernment over this volume, the cover changes and I see a name appear, [author:Rafael Sabatini|82608]. Yes, we have the young, ever so good and moral master swordsman, none of [author:Alexandre Dumas|4785]' riff-raff for this tale. Revenge! Yes that monster Schonborn killed his parents and abducted his little sister. Trusty comrades are met along the way. Wait, we are missing Romance, Rafael would be displeased.
This book has been updated from those old fashioned swashbuckler tales, there's one strong female character and the prose is at worst pale lavender. While marketed as an adult book, the age of the characters make it feel YA. A decent read, but Dumas still is my main man for this genre.
