A review by noranne
The Spider's War by Daniel Abraham

4.0

Good without being great. Some things paid off well, some kind of meh, and some left hanging. Not my favorite book of the series, but not my least favorite either. There were some great sections where my heart was racing and I couldn't put it down, and several (especially in the first third or so) where I had to kind of push through because not much was happening except monologues and thinking and posturing. I continue to enjoy Daniel Abraham as an author and look forward to his future projects. Overall, The Dagger and The Coin is an interesting series with some cool ideas and fascinating characters but at times a dawdling plot and overly pat.
