Never Die by Rob J. Hayes
4.0

Another great SPFBO read!

This isn’t the type of fantasy I would normally read, but it’s another by one of my fellow SPFBO finalists, so I picked it up. And while it’s not quite my usual cup of tea - a motley group of half-dead heroes on a quest to kill an evil emperor, almost anime or comic style - I really enjoyed it. I think that’s mainly down to the excellent writing, which keeps you engaged all the way through. The pacing is excellent and there’s never a dull moment. There are a lot of fighting/battle scenes though, so be warned if you don’t like too much gore in your books. I think my favourite part of the whole book was the interaction and banter between the group of heroes - very entertaining!! And that ending... I loved it. If you like books about heroes on quests that aren’t too long, I highly recommend this
