"On her quest (to kill the evil prince), Marra is joined by the gravewitch, a reluctant fairy godmother, a strapping former knight, and a chicken possessed by a demon." Mostly enjoyable fluff. Fun and unusual adventuring party. Not very long, but still too long. #booksky #books #fantasy #fairytale

"You find yourself two thousand meters below the earth’s surface surrounded by overwhelming darkness. Cold and wet, the path has collapsed behind you. You have nowhere to go, but still you scream.

"A North Korean boy stumbles across a guide to D&D" In North Korea, when your Dungeon Master tries to touch your pee-pee (fails dexterity check, fails charisma check), that doesn't even make it in your 99 problems. A fascinating story told with a strange distance and flatness. #booksky #DnD

"Aickman's stories achieve a quieter, more subtle and, in several ways, more lasting sense of disquiet." Mostly longer, slightly less interesting, and less successful stories (1988) than those in 'Cold Hand in Mine,' but still miles above that banal bunch they now call horror. #booksky #horror

(2/2) When it doesn't work, it's low-effort, let's say, picaresque Abercrombie we also know and love less: bloat, deepities, overlong action scenes, barely sketched alt-medieval Europe, never-ending quips and phrases repeated ad nauseam, obligatory all-my-bones-ache passages... #booksky #fantasy

submitted 18 days ago • 0 comments

(1/2) When it works, it's the Abercrombie we know and love: great characterization, a dark and gritty world, genuine humour in places, and the to-know-all-is-to-forgive-all humanity even in the inhumans (plus the great Steven Pacey if you're listening to the audiobook) #booksky #fantasy #althistory
