Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. This book tries to be one of those books that you don’t take too seriously, with many invocations of a grand plot but no actual macro story that the main story fits into. As a result it came off as a bit too overdone, and a lot of the overly rapid plot transitions came quite literally out of thin air (including a fair bit of completely unexplained magic). Maybe I’ll read the second one, but I would really recommend the series. ( ) I enjoy high fantasy books more than I think, because I barely read them, but when I do *chefs kiss*. I loved the world building in this story! The characters were awesome, and I love how they play off of each other emotionally. You can feel their friendship coming off the pages! I plan to read the rest of this series, sooner rather than later. Thanks for the recommend! #coyer While this was an enjoyable read, I really struggled with lack of character depth, and horrid character consistency. It seems Castell has his mind set on who a character should be when he writes, and as the character develops on his own, he never went back to make sure the character remained consistent. This continues to be a problem in book two. So 3 stars for a great story with some awesome Three Musketeer Easter eggs, but minus two for all the gaping holes and lack of depth. Didn't like this so much as the Spellslinger series. It's very similar writing style, but whereas that was a fast paced YA, light and always humours, this tries to be more adult with darker themes. However this clashes with the attempted banter and lack of world-building. It's ok in YA, but I prefer more complex fully developed worlds and characters and this never quite got there. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)The Greatcoats (1)
With swashbuckling action that recalls Dumas's Three Musketeers, Sebastien de Castell has created a dynamic new fantasy series. In Traitor's Blade, a disgraced swordsman struggles to redeem himself by protecting a young girl caught in the web of a royal conspiracy. The King is dead, the Greatcoats have been disbanded, and Falcio Val Mond and his fellow magistrates Kest and Brasti have been reduced to working as bodyguards for a nobleman who refuses to pay them. Things could be worse, of course. Their employer could be lying dead on the floor while they are forced to watch the killer plant evidence framing them for the murder. Oh wait, that's exactly what's happening. Now a royal conspiracy is about to unfold in the most corrupt city in the world. A carefully orchestrated series of murders that began with the overthrow of an idealistic young king will end with the death of an orphaned girl and the ruin of everything that Falcio, Kest, and Brasti have fought for. But if the trio want to foil the conspiracy, save the girl, and reunite the Greatcoats, they'll have to do it with nothing but the tattered coats on their backs and the swords in their hands, because these days every noble is a tyrant, every knight is a thug, and the only thing you can really trust is a traitor's blade.
