Okay, here's the review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Of Blood and Bone

[Michael]

I am reading three stories at once... I do this a lot actually. Right now, I read the excellent Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse, NOS4A2 by Joe Hill, while listening to the audiobook Name of the Wind by Pat Rothfuss. I've already read NOTW but am about to read Wise Man's Fear, so I thought it would be fun to revisit it while I am coding in the wee hours of the night. These are all fantasy stories and pretty dark, but stylistically they are very different. I'm most excited about Trail of Lightning and have Storm of Locusts (book 2 of the series) on tap.

Hill and Rothfuss tell long patient side stories in very different venues. Rothfuss is magical, musical, but unfamiliar, while Hill models his world on human connections with the contemporary and recent past. They are spinning a yarn and you are drawn to their artistry. So enthralled, you watch them paint a dangerous world around you.

Roanhorse, by contrast, shivs you with terse sensory prose. She makes you taste that desert dust without syrup. The horrors of Roanhorse's world are not mere monsters but the world beyond the wall along with commonplace nasties like Big Law. The curiosity is almost painful. I want to see these places beyond the story too. I have the same feeling with Tade Thompson's Rosewater world. America's gone dark, has it? Show me inside. ;-)

Roanhorse's characters are both flawed and endearing. Maggie reminds me of that line in Absolutely Sweet Marie, "but to live outside the law you must be honest." Of course the story setting is pure chaos, Malazan like, where Gods walk with humankind.

So many great stories! We are so fortunate!!!
