Brothers of the Knife by Dan Rabarts
5.0
Brothers of the Knife is a madcap adventure through an amazingly inventive universe. A universe where not everything is as it first seems...
Our hero, Arkmenos the youngest, and therefore the most expendable in a family of prestigious warlocks is a chef of extraordinary talent and commitment. The least likely person to ever go on an adventure. So, hold onto your hats-and your knives and forks-and catch yourself a seat at the table before Arkmenos is accused of murder.
Poisoning.
As a chef, Arkmenos is appalled that his food could be ruined in such a way. Or, at least he would be-if he had the time. Fleeing with only the tools of his trade, and the barest essentials of cooking supplies, he determines to escape. But in doing so, he proves the plot against him, and now he must run. Run from his brothers, who hate him more than he knows and from the dastardly machinations of unexpected enemies.
Brother's of the Knife is a tasty mash-up of grim dark, humour, steampunk, and madcap fantasy adventure with just a hint of garlic and plenty of cheese. My favourite. :)
