A Crown for Cold Silver by Alex Marshall
3.0
I have very mixed feelings about this one. I really love the main trope- the heroes (or in this case villains) from x years ago are coming back to support new heroes (villains) and we can see how they changed in that time and how did they change the world. We can see the consequences of their actions and how the legends they created overgrew the real people. Give me more of this trope please! I did enjoy as well the style of writing. I do welcome characters swearing, it makes it much more realistic, although I understand that it is not everybody’s cup of tea.
My biggest problem with this story is the lack of likable characters. At the beginning I kind of liked Maroto and his band of fops, but by the end all I was feeling was pity. For the rest- I absolutely do not care if they live or die, if they achieve their goals or not. And because of that I am not sure if I will continue this series. Is it getting better with character development in the next part?
