Hello and welcome! My name is Emma and I've been a bookseller for over a decade. I also write fantasy under the name E. M. Epps. This blog features my Two-Paragraph Book Reviews. One paragraph from me. One from the book. Here's why I keep it short.

Review: “City of Blades” by Robert Jackson Bennett

Image Emma 10 October 2016


Thumbs up for City of Blades by Robert Jackson Bennett. Fantasy.
Yay! There’s a sequel to City of Stairs! And this time, General Mulaghesh is the main character! Double yay! Yes, I’m fangirling, so? You could probably read this without having read the other book first, but I wouldn’t recommend it. You know what I do recommend? Reading them both. They are satisfyingly not quite like any other fantasy. I wish I’d written them.

She jumps down and starts walking toward the cliffs, searching for some sign of a Divinity’s passage, or really anything’s passage. She finds nothing. And besides, this region is covered with patrols, any one of which would have noticed a ten-story metal woman walking around with a sword, which is the kind of thing you mention to your CO.

I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
