A review by darthval
The Thousand Names by Django Wexler

2.0

I finally finished. Finally. Had I not purchased the Audible edition, I probably would have lemmed it. I never thought that battle scenes could be tedious and dull, yet here they were. Every time that I found myself drawn into the narrative of the main characters, it seemed like the story would fall into the mire of marching and conflict.

I would have much preferred if some of military saga had been cut out in favor of the magical world building and story of Winter. I liked Marcus, too, but his tale was less compelling. As I type this, I am struck by how opposite my comments are from my usual opinions. I have often thought (and typed), "less talky, talky, more stabby, stabby."

Bottom line, this one was not for me.
