markimus 's review for:
The Emperor's Blades
by Brian Staveley
To say this book was a journey is an understatement. I loved 2 of the characters in this book, but the third (the daughter) almost seemed to be ignored, which honestly was ok because I found her annoying, at first. However, the author did a great job of turning my interest around closer towards the end of the book. My only complaint with this book would have to be the map, it felt unneeded and became so bothersome I just found myself ignoring it. I will eventually pick up book 2 but I'm in no particular rush to read it. After all of that I bet you're wondering why the 4 stars. Well it comes down to the fact that the writing was smooth, the action was solid, and I was genuinely interested in the way things turn out. Definitely worth giving the book a try.
