Book Review
I think the best way to describe A Path of Blades is Historical Fantasy. Certain parts of this books felt like I was reading Bernard Cornwell which was great for this reviewer. There is not much magic or mythical animals to talk about but there are elves! With all of the fantasy that I read, this was a refreshing break from traditional fantasy and I can’t wait to see what the author has in store in the future.
A Path of Blades was one of my favorite indie reads of 2023. With in depth character study and development, R.E. Sanders has put together a magnificent stand alone fantasy novel. You will find yourself experiencing joy and sorrow with Ingvar as he fights for what he loves.
If you are looking for a quick read stand alone that is light on fantasy but a beautiful story you should consider reading A Path of Blades.
