The Blacktongue Thief, Christopher Buehlman
Dhruv: 4/10
- Did not really enjoy the book
- It was very trope-y, the plot very predictable
- Too many things happen that don't matter
Elton: 3.25/5
- Writing is good, intentional
- Interesting setting
- There's too many things going on with no real weight
- The audiobook performance was nice
Tony: 3/5
- The writing was fine, good even. Same for the character and setting.
- Plot dragged, pacing was awful
- Sometimes I couldn't tell what was going on, sometimes nothing was going on
Jason: 6.5/10
- Once again betrayed by the fantasy
- The prose was great, enjoyable reading experience in that regard
- Likable but in a generic, transient way
- So much stuff that is overly complicated and doesn't matter
- I'm gonna forget about it in a week
