Engaging page turner! Not a cookie-cutter fantasy novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I'm not a big fan of the fantasy genre and I actually purchased this book to give to someone who's running a Warhammer game -- I've enjoyed everything else I've read by the author. Out of curiosity I started reading Honour of the Grave and I had trouble putting it down. It's one of the most engaging novels I've read in quite some time. It's not a cookie cutter fantasy novel -- the "heroes" are a corpse robber and a deserter who largely live by the corpse robber's wits-- and it focuses on well-drawn characters. It also isn't overrun with elements of the fantastic, although it does contain them, but it isn't -about- them. It's all about the characters. I've ordered the other Warhammer book the author has written and I'm looking forward to it enthusiastically!
