rated 8/10: really quite good
big tough guy from a misunderstood race goes round helping people. sort of lone ranger, complete with sidekick. a simple premise.
and a very enjoyable book.
the world is complex. yet its people and its history just seem so... right. references to past events just naturally fit.
and the key characters are so good. okay, the baddies are bad. possibly mad. the goodies are very likeable. even weak minor characters can have their good points.
when baddies pick a fight... they just don't stand a chance.
blood and thunder, action and adventure, from start to end.
a very enjoyable book.
14aug24:
This book leads into sword of the south -- and Oath is so much better.
Oath introduces -- and develops -- characters. And the characters are sympathetic and... very human. Which is odd, since most are not.
Still rated eight out of ten :-)
