The Dreamthief's Daughter: A Tale Of The Albino by Michael Moorcock
5.0
Wonderful example of what fantasy can be. Set in an alternative Europe during the 2nd World War, we're treated to a gritty, semi-realistic kind of historical fantasy. The world is almost(but not quite) recognizable as our own interlaced with sorcery and mythical beasts and strange cities and lands that still manage to feel real and with characters that seem alive and real, drawing emotion from the reader and persuading us to care about them.
I picked this up from a charity shop as an accidental find but vaguely remember reading some of the Von Bek novels when I was younger. I've picked up the first Von Bek now in kindle format and hope for good things from it if it's anything like as good as this.
Very enjoyable alternate historical fantasy. Recommended.
