annarella 's review for:

The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman
5.0

This is going to be one of my favorite series as it's well written, gripping and highly entertaining.
I loved Kinch Na Shannack, our hero/antihero who is tasked with a quest. He's an interesting characters and I'm sucker for smart ass that are able to get in trouble.
Galva is another great characters. She's strong and the perfect counterpart to our hero/antihero.
I laughed a lot as the book is written tongue in cheek and there are a lot of very funny situation.
There's also a lot of sadness as the book is set in a world that recently ended a very bloody and destructive war. You laugh but you cannot help feeling for the characters who lost friends and relatives.
As I'm a cat a lover I want let you know that one of my favorite character is a cat that is not a normal cat but he's full of cattitude.
The world building, the character development and the tightly knitted plot are excellent. The author is a talented storyteller and the story kept me turning pages as fast as I could.
I can't wait to read other books in this series, this one is strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Gollanczand Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
