pctek 's review for:
Blood Song
by Anthony Ryan
These things are always subjective, like art...you like what you like, and someone else's taste may be different.
But. I read few fantasy books, well, I finish few of them.
Some books are read once and while quite good, not something I would reread.
This is one that not only did I finish within a day but is a reread. And thus remains on my bookshelf.
Perhaps it's the characters, and the world the author builds.
I enjoyed them. Yes this one comes close to being a cliched special hero...but he has failings too, and isn't good at everything.
People die, some his friends, some turn out not to be friends after all.
But that is partly what makes it good, no superhero nonsense.
And the authors telling of the tale, it reads smoothly and easily, you get caught up in the events and can't wait to see What Happens Next.
Buy it, well worth at least one read, even if it doesn't make your keep list.
