Kinch Na Shannack owes the Takers Guild a small fortune for his education as a thief, which includes (but is not limited to) lock-picking, knife-fighting, wall-scaling, fall-breaking, lie-weaving, trap-making, plus a few small magics. His debt has driven him to lie in wait by the old forest road, planning to rob the next traveler that crosses his path.

Madre, qué diferencia de tono con The Daughter's War. Sigue metiéndose en el terreno de la fantasía MUY oscura, pero al menos ahora tienes a Kinch como narrador, que alivia un poco ese peso. Hay escenas francamente divertidas (¡El gato!) y algunas ideas que dan ganas de abrirle la cabeza al autor, a ver si tiene más de eso.

El ritmo se le va un poco de las manos y la química del grupo hace más aguas que flote, quizás porque está demasiado entretenido pensando en escenas jodidas con las que hacer su golpe de efecto.

Review of 'The Blacktongue Thief' on 'Goodreads'

4 estrellas

I really enjoyed this book. It was a dark fantasy but not at the expense of a magical escape. It will leave you wondering what decade it came out because it very much fits right in with the old "Apoendix-N" fantasy, but you will notice distinctly modern bents where you might expect to find well tread ideas.
