The Blacktongue Thief

Whither or not you enjoy this book will come down to if you like the main characters voice and it’s humour. It is so distinct that if you it will make or break the book for you. I loved it, the jokes were right up my street and spending time with the point of view character was a joy.

Other strengths include a great and original romantic relationship and a satisfying ending where promises are paid off and no punches are pulled. The kind of ending that makes you close the book a sit in silence for a moment.

The reason why I gave this book 4 stars rather than 5 is the plot and world building. Which I found less original than the characters and not as interesting. However do not let this put you off! You don’t read this book for a twisty plot mind blowing magic, you read it to spend time with the character and his brilliant commentary of his life.
