The Bloodprint

This was a really mixed bag. It takes the old and familiar - a ragtag band of adventurers questing for a mcguffin - and infuses it with a more modern understanding of how politics and gender relate to war (given Khan's academic background in political science this is quite understandable). For the most part, though, the story dragged slowly and took some time to find its feet. Once it found itself, though, it became a lot more enjoyable, but it was a lot of work to get to that point.
