A review by adr_enne_rose
Imaro by Charles Saunders

3.0

There are pros and cons to this book. For the time in which it was written, it is a lovely slice of the Fantasy genre, unique in its perspective. For this, I really enjoyed it. I like the cultures and peoples that Imaro interacted with. I liked all of the mythos and storytelling in the first section of his tale. But as the book continues, I found that there was less about the different people' cultures and tribes, and more about Imaro's sword-and-sorcery type quest. Fine, I get that, it was just a bit less engaging as the book went on. It's also clear that the few women in the book are dated by the very nature of when the book was written, but what can you do about that? Overall, I'm disappointed that it became 'just another epic quest slog' as it went on but I'm glad a read it.
