![]() ![]() If you’re the kind of reader who needs every book in a series to have a self-contained story with a beginning, middle, and end, you’d probably be happier reading something else. My synopsis above is incredibly vague because it is so hard to pin down a clear throughline that connects all the dots – at least, at this point in the adventure. ![]() THE BLADE ITSELF is here to prove once again just how much I value characters over all else in a book. Their lives cross in unexpected ways as the First Magus Bayaz begins nudging events into motion that will have ripple effects across the whole world. A torturer for the King committed to rooting out treason. A Northman warrior who is sought out by the First of the Magi. A dashing guardsman training to win the annual Contest. As war in the North draws closer, a chain of events kicks off bringing the most unlikely of souls together. ![]()
