bildger 's review for:
Blood Song
by Anthony Ryan
What a great read. There have been very few fantasy books I have read in the last 5 years that I have called great. This is one of them. The characters are so well written and fleshed out, the language and dark tone are of the highest quality and all of the intrigue and the plots are so enjoyable to watch being played out.
I really like fantasy books where magic is just a myth or a mystery, with little subtle hints to its existence rather than an easy plot device to get the hero out of trouble.
The first 20% of the book is pretty heavy in world and character building so can feel a bit slow, but this really pays off. As the story grows and unfolds into the complex pattern that it is, it is impossible to put down.
