1913. Austria-Hungary. Ardis knows better than to save a man on the battlefield. Even if he manages to be a charming bastard while bleeding out in the snow. She hasn't survived this long as a mercenary without some common sense.
This book was an odd
book for me. It sounded really cool, actually I really liked the idea of it.
But there was something about it… it felt to me like it lacked something major,
maybe conflict?
I know there was
some in there but it just didn't hold me I guess.
The book itself was
good, I read it quite quickly actually and I enjoyed it as I was reading it,
but I felt like there was a lot of filler.
As far as main
characters went, again it felt like there was something lacking. I really liked
the idea of this book and I really liked the idea of the characters. I love the
idea of a necromancer actually! And the world that this book was set in was a great
world! It was well thought out and detailed. The main character had a fun back
ground, and I loved reading about her, I think more than anything it was just
her personality that threw me off.
While the characters
didn't do much for me I would have loved to see more about their world.
I can't say I'd read
more about the characters but I would read more about others in that world!
