Readper Review:
I picked up this new release recently and gave it a shot. Always game for a new epic fantasy, I found it impressive that author Andy Peloquin has already finished three books. So, there’s no need to wait if one likes the first book.
I have to say, Darkblade Assassin is very well written. Action takes place primarily in one medieval city, which is well defined with a rich history. There is a vibrant mythology, with a multi-god religious system reminiscent of the one in Game of Thrones. Profanity is mild, for the most part. I counted two f-bombs. The majority are made-up curses based on the in-world mythology.
The story is captivating. Our assassin has a heart of gold, and while we’ve seen this before in series like Dexter, the plot twists are well done and offer a new take on things. Squeamish warning: when the assassin gets mad, lots of people die and readers are spared no details.
Overall this book is fast-paced, well-written, and well worth the read.
Recommended.
