nasamuffin, book enjoyer reviewed Masters of Death by Olivie Blake
Big and beautiful but meandering
4 stars
This book is one of the denser bits of contemporary fantasy I think I've ever read. But I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it!
I'm not sure how to really review it, except that I don't think the teaser on the back actually had all that much to do with the contents. This is a book that's definitely more about the journey than the destination, and I feel like it was a bit handwavey at times, but altogether the characters were fun and the plot was interesting. I could feel some inspiration from Pratchett which was nice too.
