Blackheart Man has some admirable ideals in the community, like verbal passing on knowledge contained in books in case they are lost.  I also loved how the community worked together.  The book itself was slow and I struggled to finish, so thank you to audio for pushing me along.  Story itself was a good one, but I was lost a lot and didn't understand everything about the gods/witches.  Also that s*x scene came out of nowhere but was wild.  Overall, this book was just OK for me and I am happy I read it.
