Blood and Betrayal by Lindsay Buroker
3.0
This series is akin to modern version of old-school pulp. Plot, more plot, barely believable twists and turns of plot, heroes and heroines who are amazing fighters, seldom needing to eat or sleep yet always managing to come out triumphant, thrusting themselves into the heart of danger while riding upon waves and waves of luck that always gets them out of desperate trouble. The heroine gets tortured for days, yet seems to survive this ordeal with general health and personality intact. Amazing.
The plot is clever, and the characters are pleasant, with personalities that are unique spin on classic tropes. The goody-two-shoes heroine, the superhuman deadly assassin, the scholar, the dumb jock swordsman, the thief slash wizard.
I am going through this entire series -- 7 books in 7 days. It's an enjoyable ride. Uncomplicated, simplistic, even, and not much aftertaste or savor. Nevertheless, recommended.
