I wanted a story about the King's Blades, and it took me by surprise when it quickly drifted away from that and became a story about the viking-like Baels. It took me a little bit, but I warmed up to the story. It has war, politics, dynastical strife, murder, revenge... It ended up being quite a good story, actually, although it did bother me at times how people made confessions to move the story forward.
I did not quite like the Baels with their brutal ways: even if some of them are likable individually, they still make a good living by pillaging, raping and enslaving. Of course, the supposedly more civilized Chicians, at least the rulers, are not much better.
This is a good. solid fantasy series.… (altro)
