Synopsis
“On a desert plain, in the coursing winds, death approached from the south like a ghost…”
A MAN.
Taken by death, returned in ashes, with a tale of revenge on his lips.
A BOY.
Cast out by his people for wrongs he never committed, longing for a chance at redemption.
THEIR FATES.
Intertwined by chance; forged by the gods.
Into the depths of Tarraz, they go.
Behold, the Knife of Sorrows…
Review
Below is my first 100-word review, a new review format that will hopefully allow me to get more reviews out while trying to contain my thoughts in exactly 100 words.
The Knife of Sorrows is TOP TIER GRIMDARK STORYTELLING. EJ Doble has quickly become one of my favorite fantasy authors of all time. The Blood and Steel Saga continuously blows my expectations.
When coming into any EJ Doble book, there are a few things I now expect.
- Beautiful and descriptive prose.
- Intense and brutally fun action.
- Riveting and distinct characters.
Let me be clear, this “novella” has everything I expected and MORE. A jaw-dropping and electrifying returning character. A new character that pulled my heartstrings. Blood pumping intense and visceral action. And oooh boy… WHAT AN ENDING!
Book 3, please.
(I’m not including this in my 100-word review… I say “novella” because this book is easily over 40K words coming at 280 pages… WHICH IS NOT A BAD THING. GIVE ME MORE MR.DOBLE 🫴)
