A review by subzerochi
The Emperor's Blades by Brian Staveley

4.0

It's been a while since a fantasy novel has so caught my attention. After readint eh r/fantasy tops recommendations which feels like a mutual admiration society of about 10 authors, this work is refreshingly new. Partially because it's not by any of those authors, but also because the author has taken fairly common ingredients and has created a believeable and relishable dish. Looking forward to part two and more.

I do wish

Ha lin had not died, I could use some puppy romance in a harsh military fantasy.
