samsharaf 's review for:
The Blacktongue Thief
by Christopher Buehlman
So. The concept, theory, and spirit of this book? Brilliant. Fun. Low commitment with high reward.
But honestly I really struggled to love this one! Primarily for two reasons. 1. I could have done without the investment required from me as a reader into the characters outside of the core crew. 2. And this is the main one. It was very difficult for me to follow along with the “stream of thinking” style writing with vernacular and a way of speaking that I just couldn’t catch.
I wanted to love this. But I just couldn’t given how hard it was for me to follow along and understand what was happening.
