A review by lyndiane
Fall of the Argosi by Sebastien de Castell
2.0
Sebastien de Castell is pretty much at the top of the list of my favourite authors, so for me to give a barely achieved 2-star rating to one of his novels is unprecedented and a little worrying.
Unfortunately for me, I found it almost impossible to relate to the events in this story. Perhaps it was the stretchy credibility of Ferius being able to learn sign language almost instantly, or the detailed explanations of the various artas at the beginning of each chapter. I found myself not caring over much what happened to Ferius or any other character and I skipped large parts just to get to the end as I really, really did not want to DNF this book.
Strange, as I really enjoyed The Way of the Argosi!
