So, with that kindle picture at the end (or whichever ereader it is), is that picture real? Or is it one of those photoshop the cover into a kindle frame? I didn’t even realize that was a thing until I saw another blogger do a whole post about some of the picture tricks they use. It was quite eye opening.

Nah, all my pictures are legit. The picture was taken on my tablet, on which I also read it through the Kindle app. The only thing I do edit is the background of my pictures. I’m the one creating the white backlight. 😀

I love your description of the main character’s voice, which adds a new level of interest in this book for me! From your words I’ve come to picture the tone of this novel as similar to Abercrombie’s gallows humor, which is one of my favorite elements: if I was eager to read the new Buehlman book before, now I can hardly wait… Great review, thanks for sharing! 🙂

I really think that his voice is what is most likely to intrigue you first and then the world-building, also done through his character! While I’m not completely certain about the Abercrombie comparison, I feel like it’s exactly that and I wouldn’t be surprised if it is! I hope you have a fantastic time with this when you finally get around to it, Maddalena! Thank you so much for reading. 😀

Thank you so much, Carla! And yes, the protagonist’s voice, drenched in humour, is what’s going to either keep you going or pass on it. 😀

Over 400 pages on a screen? Yikes! That’s some dedication. I don’t think I could do that. What a great rating, too!

The mythology of this world sounds brilliant and, I love the fact that it comes into play in the story itself and isn’t just used as a prop to expand on the world-building. I’m so happy you enjoyed this one. I can’t wait to read it now.

It’s absolutely awesome! The main character’s voice alone made me giggle too often and, with everything being exposed through him, it’s just so much fun to read! I hope you get around to trying it out soon, Lois! 😀
