![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a story where the villains are as memorable as the heroes, and sometimes the dividing lines between them are narrow indeed. But it's not only the protagonist who is believable the other characters evolve with the story. As her back story unfolds along with the action, pieces fall into place in a very satisfactory way. Instead, I'll tell you that the narrator protagonist is a unique character. I try to refrain from spoilers in my reviews. WHOOPS! Editing this! Unbeknownst to me at the time I posted this, this is book one of a trilogy! But I will repeat that I found the ending satisfactory! So if you want a great big read that can lead to even more big books, this is a solid entry point! Even so, there is plenty of room in the world and setting for other tales to be told. In a time when most new fantasies seem to be part of a trilogy or longer series, Seven Blades in Black is a stand alone story with a completely satisfactory ending. Seven Blades in Black weighs in at a substantial 771 pages the edition I have is a chunk! For fantasy readers who enjoy a complete immersion in a new world with a unique magic system, this book is for you. As always, this does not affect my review of the book. Ah, the usual caveat! I know Sam Sykes and I read this book as an Advance Reading Copy, an edition sent to me for free by the publisher. ![]()
