Chris Spivey (Author)<p>Enjoying vacation life with an exceptional Malbec and my first real free time in ages to read a fantasy book y’all recommended, <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TheBladeItself" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheBladeItself</span></a>.

jack the nonabrasive<p>The author is from the UK, and could have benefitted from an editor's oversight for giving one of the antagonist groups the name of a major North American Indigenous Tribe, The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation. The treatment and characterization of a disabled character is handled as skillfully as could be expected in a work set in a harsh time, much as the treatment of a little person is handled in A Song of Ice and Fire. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheBladeItself" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheBladeItself</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a> </p><p>/3</p>
jack the nonabrasive<p>In particular, each is given a fish-out-of-water story as they encounter each other in a personally unfamiliar location, such as outlander in the big city. The parallel construction was masterfully done. </p><p>The author has studied, in particular, A Song of Ice and Fire, and relies on the archetypes established in that work and its predecessors. Not a bad thing--this is genre fiction, after all--and his skill in characterization and narrative makes it work. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheBladeItself" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheBladeItself</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a></p><p>/2</p>

Each chapter has a title, and for good reason: they can each be read as (almost) standalone short stories. I particularly liked intertwined journeys of the major characters, told in just about alternate chapters, as they get closer to the kickoff of their quest. /1</p>
