Esslemont is the master of complexity. His books demand you pay attention to what you are reading. This volume has Kellanved mastering more exotic arts. An enigma to the other mages, demigods, gods, demons, and assorted supernatural beings, Kellanved continues to quest. Dancer, an assassin, professional assassin if you please, accompanies him against his considerable reservations as to Kellanved’s sanity.
Reviewing this series is difficult, not for the normal fear of spoilers, but due to the often overwhelming complexity of the plot. Frankly, I’m not sure I could do a spoiler, that anyone not reading the series would understand.
This is not negative! I am enjoying the series and marveling at Esslemont’s mind. This is an author capable of juggling chainsaws while spinning plates.
If you are a fantasy fan willing to sort through allegiances and characters to get to the multi-layered plot, this series is for you.
I’m loving it.
