The Emperor's Blades by Brian Staveley
3.0
Not so much a review as some thoughts I had while reading this:
- Monks like ... Trappists? or like ninjas?
- Can't own property and can't marry? Like the Night's Watch but better trained?
- WTF is a "leach"?
- Oh *that* is a leach ... I can dig that for this world's magic
- Speaking of: sure would like to play a D&D in this setting
- Author sure likes writing about curves, eh?
- We spend a LOT more time with the brothers than the sister...
- ...and her story seems like it could have been more interesting if we spent more time with her?
Overall? Enjoyed. Entertaining. There wasn't any point where I thought that I *wouldn't* finish it, which is a pretty good endorsement from me these days (esp. for fantasy).
