3.25When I saw this book here on goodreads I was sooo excited. Read that plot, look at that cover; it screams "I am the perfect, unique book you were looking for." Well let me tell you, it lies. Smiler's fair it's not a bad book, it isn't horrible, it isn't awfully written or anything like that. But to me, it fell flat. When I saw it, I sent a message to a friend in which I was all about "hey have you seen it? It will be awesome!" Uhm...dear me of two months ago, this is what I tell you:Well, toreviews.metaphorosis.com 3.5 starsA baby is rescued from the death his father the king intends. Years later, Smiler's Fair draws together a diverse set of people, each with their own needs and destinies.I'm not a Doctor Who fan, and I'd never heard of Rebecca Levene before this, but I enjoyed this fantasy novel. The writing is smooth, and the plot complex, but she does a pretty good job of keeping the many threads of her plot distinct.Levene describes a mostly standard fantasy universe, with a
originally posted at: http://thebookplank.blogspot.com/2014...One trope that always works for me in Epic Fantasy are gods and deities. When they are involved it always broadens the scope of the story and what I have come to understand from my reading ventures so far is that they can turn the story into unexpected directions. There are so many interpretations possible of gods that it will always turn into a unique story and Smiler's Fair is no exception. Rebecca Levene craftily uses the god
This is a very good book, and there's a lot going for it, but I wonder if there's just something missing that explains why it didn't make an even bigger splash. Bags of creativity, wonderfully flawed & diverse characters, a grim world with plenty of action and darkness (who says women don't write grimdark?), epic stakes...and yet, it didn't quite blow me away. Some of that may be that it's a clear set-up book with many unanswered questions, a main cast of unheroic characters, not enough of
Before I talk about this one I have a little secret to tell you. I mostly dislike Epic Fantasy. You are looking at the girl who detested the Game of Thrones novels (too much death, not clever anymore just irritating) who after several attempts gave up on Lord of the Rings as endlessly dull and although I read a lot of it trying to find the love, it doesnt happen often. I was however highly intrigued by this one when the lovely peeps over at Hodderscape told me Id love it. They know what they are
Absolutely one of the best epic fantasies I've ever read. Similar to Joe Abercrombie or GRRM. Dark and brutal, don't let the cover deceive you. You have the orphaned chosen one. The Moon god has been reborn in this young man and eventually it becomes a big hunt to find him by practically everyone. Most have different interests, but all the same goal. There's the washed up warrior who just wants a final revenge for the slaughter of his people. A noble woman who is wedded to an unfortunate
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Also posted on my blog, Rinn Reads.Smilers Fair is definitely not a book for the faint of heart. Opening with a rather gory and graphic birth scene, the gruesome detail continues without, showing the reader that this world is not an easy one to live in. Whilst Smilers Fair may sound like a pleasant place, this is but a front for the grim reality. Prostitution, gambling, brawls and duels, all the seedy parts of
