A review by eliasbouchard
The House of Binding Thorns by Aliette de Bodard
4.0
asmodeus and thuan.............asmodeus and berith.........asmodeus and madeline...........asmodeus and everybody..............just asmodeus........what a fascinating character :) like dang the second half of the book was so good, would have given it five stars just for that.
this world of in-house politics + dragon kingdom + a rotten paris is as always such a fascinating combination id NEVER say no to more of that. i liked the subtle shift in writing style in this book, i was expecting to grit my teeth through this book over it as well as i did in book 1 but surprise teeth are intact!
i also liked the subplots (esp madeline's) and how it all wove together and drew a satisfying conclusion? would always be in awe of the author's ability to maintain the tension without losing threads despite a few hiccups in pacing here and there.
