The Price of Spring by Daniel Abraham
3.0
This series is odd. I feel like Abraham was trying so hard to counteract a lot of the typical elements of high fantasy, that he wound up sabotaging the elements that make great fantasy fun to read.
There are a lot of unique ideas in this series, but it was rarely compelling—too often it was just a slog. Maybe some of that is down to the narrator, who was not my favorite.
Abraham’s later series, The Dagger and The Coin is, imo, subverts fantasy tropes while still being fun to read.
