albon 's review for:
The Emperor's Blades
by Brian Staveley
2017 review:
I'm not gonna lie, I mostly bought this book because of the beautiful (in my opinion) cover. Unfortunately, the cover ended up being the best part about this book. But I did end up giving it three stars, so it was an okay book. The writing was okay, the plot was okay, the characters were okay. It dragged a lot in the middle, when both Kaden and Valyn just had endless training sessions over and over again.
I also think Adare should've had more chapters (she had so few compared to her brothers!), it would've been really interesting to see her manoveur her way around the court after her father's death, and maybe the author could've given us more hints about how deep the conspiracy against her family is.
If the next book in the series is cheap I'll probably read it, if not I probably won't.
