shreyasdeshpande1992 's review for:
The Emperor's Blades
by Brian Staveley
This is a very captivating read. The story is told from the vantage point of 3 siblings- Kaden, Valyn, and Adare. Plenty of action and high fantasy elements, and the magic system of the leaches is interesting and fun to read. The author builds a very large world without exploring it much, which hopefully comes through in future novels in this series. While Kaden's and Valyn's chapter's are action oriented, I felt that Adare's were sparse and weak. I would have liked to see more political intrigue/plot development from her perspective at her position in the Capital. The POVs definitely entertwine well and create a solid ending, while leaving enough left ''unsaid" for an excellent sequel. I look forward to the next one!
