Book of the Week: Theft of Swords.

I have a +4 reaction to people who back my Kickstarters, so when Michael J. Sullivan kindly decided to back my latest one I decided to give his Theft of Swords a whirl. I’ve already chuckled three times and laughed out loud once during the first chapter, so it’s going well. Roguish and thievish fantasy, but not grimdark: I can dig it.

PS: Sullivan also gets full points for using names that are easy to pronounce. No, seriously, I’m not being facetious at all. Tolkien could get away with ‘interesting’ names because he was a linguist of terrifying erudition and potency. Most writers are… not. I am genuinely grateful of having characters who I can keep track of.
