kyratt 's review for:
The Emperor's Blades
by Brian Staveley
4,5 stars but I'm not quite bumping it up to 5 stars. The book is amazing but for it to be a 5 star read it had to have moved me more in an emotional way.
Great book: great writing, great characters, great plot and great worldbuilding. Everything you want out of a fantasy book. The pacing was a little slow at first (it took a while for the plot to come together) but what a reward in the end! Unpredictable yet everything just worked. It had me gasping and telling my husband multiple times 'you HAVE to read this book!' Can't wait to get my hands on the sequel.
My only negative: Adare deserved more of a storyline. She was unforgettable but I wanted to get to know her better. Hope this happens in the next installments.
