argent_ 's review for:

The Thousand Names by Django Wexler

5.0

---

This has been one of the better books I've read. It's not a genius book, it doesn't revolutionize the genre or do something absolutely unheard of - but the things it does, it does them well. The narrative is easy to read, the cast of characters is small enough to make the story easy to track, the characters themselves are smart and competent. The first few chapters were a little confusing because it wasn't immediately clear what this war that's been going on is, how it started, what the sides are, and who the "good guys" are, but it all cleared up quickly enough. All in all, a good read.
