Rotting gods… This is a great fantasy novel about a young man who’s lost everything, and whose penchant for honor is often at odds with the things he must do to survive. I love the pacing and the characters we meet along the way.
What I did not love is the way EVERYTHING needs to be explained. A subtle character action? The main character has to interpret it for you. The presence of something that implies the existence of another thing? The main character needs to interpret it for you. Please, let me enjoy the benefits of being an attentive reader! They could probably have cut out 50 pages of fat and made it a more satisfying read.
I planned on taking a few months break before picking up the second book, but the last 100 pages really crank up the heat and expand the story into all new territories. I think I’ll have “The Strength of the Few” in my hand by the end of this month.
