The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart by Jesse Bullington
4.0
This took a bit longer than I originally anticipated and purely because I took my sweet ass time reading it but it was pretty fun. I have to say that the demise of the Brothers Grossbart was not as fantastical as I had hoped AT ALL but that seems to be some of the saddest parts: the denial of that glorious end. Still, it was a really fun read! I really like the way Bullington writes--and I have to say that his grotesque descriptions honestly made me gag and physically shrink back on more than one occasion. He has a really great handle on writing really gross stuff!!!
So yeah--too much to go into. There were lots of twists and turns, from Barousse to the Martyn to Ennio and even poor Heimlich. Even the vile witch's tale were expertly told and maintained great tension and suspense. I have "Folly of the World" which I'll get to once I take a little break from Bullington. Don't get me wrong--he's one of my new favorite authors and I really like the cut of his jib. But I need a break. Something less putrid and horrifying. At least for the next 2 books. :D
