No Return: A Novel of Jeroun, Book One by Zachary Jernigan
3.0
This book had an interesting and unusual fantasy setting, some fairly well-drawn viewpoint characters (and not a crazy huge amount of them, maybe half a dozen or so), and an interesting if sometimes gross magic system. The writing was good -- it didn't get in the way, I don't remember really savouring any individual sentences but there were descriptive phrases here and there.
It does have quite a bit of violence and fairly explicit sex, sometimes both at once. It wasn't in every single chapter but it was frequent enough that it struck me as a bit gratuitous. If you like the dark fantasy coming from authors like R. Scott Bakker or Joe Abercrombie, you might want to give this one a look. I feel there will be sequels.
