To be fair I didn’t know how to properly start this review because there are so many things I want to talk about Memories of Blood and Shadow, but I guess we will go by parts, as Jack the Ripper said.
Epic fantasy has always been one of my favourite literary genres. The sensation of discovering a new world, full of politics, intrigue, and powerful characters is something that I find so fulfilling. And Avarin has exactly all these points, and also griffins.
Have you ever imagined what would happen if Terry Pratchett was playing a D&D campaign where he was given total creative freedom? Well, that’s exactly how I felt while reading The Fantastically Underwhelming. And saying that, as a Discworld fan, is a great compliment.
Tengo que reconocer que partía con muy altas expectativas sobre El Rastro del Rayo, y lo ha cumplido todo de principio a fin. Aprovecho para hacer mención especial a esta edición española, que viene de la mano de Red Key Books, la traducción es sublime y conserva todos los términos de origen navajo.
I have to admit that I’m positively impressed with The Sleepless as it can easily qualify as one of the best novels I have read so far this year. Victor Manibo has nailed each detail to create a rich world and characters with whom we can empathize easily, but let’s go part by part, as Jack the Ripper said.
Victor was so kind and was open to answering some questions for the blog, so I have to thank him for his time for giving these detailed answers
