A world with Avian demi-gods, a cult worshipping them, Elfs whose objective is to get rid of humans, and the classic mix of tropes trying to expand human territories. Add to them really charismatic main characters, political intrigues, and excellent worldbuilding, and voilà: The Last Blade Priest has appeared.
We have the pleasure to be able to unveil the cover of «Where it Rains in Color», a mythological retelling of the culture of the Dogon tribe in Mali, West Africa, by Denise Crittendon.
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.
