nemo reviewed Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan
Review of 'Promise of Blood' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Read it on Sanderson's recommendation, pretty nice for a debut novel. The writing felt far more crisp and better paced compared to other first books I've read in the genre.
The world-building is nicely done, and it draws you in. There are enough viewpoints that the story remains coherent, but not enough to make it jarring.
Also, there is a proper ending., which wraps up all story lines, something I enjoy greatly.
I'm reading Girl of Hrusch Avenue (which is a prequel short story) next.
