Bound
Byson Darious - The Man, The Myth, The Unicorn!
Apothecary, artificer and binder. It was the last that made Byson special among the magical. More than just someone who brewed potions. But it was also the binding that could destroy him.
But as long as people didn't know he had bound himself to a unicorn and the changes didn't show, he would be safe. And he loved the gifts his binding bestowed upon him.
Then his sister called him, telling him that their mother was in danger and needed to be rescued. That only he could save her. And suddenly a simple man who brewed health potions had to head into battle with only a few magical gifts and a blow pipe. He didn't like that at all!
Little did he know however, that he would like everything that followed even less!

well written and plotted - incredibly!
Many twists and turns and plots but best of all it ends with humor and a well deserved smile achieved. If have read the overview and are interested I recommend buying/ reading. Really impressive plots to think out this whole book and characters. Well worth the cost and time reading. Greg Curtis is definitely a hidden treasure of a writer. Another book I have thoroughly enjoyed!

Great story
Another great story from Greg Curtis. Full of twists and turns and the familiar themes he does so well. I'm never disappointed with one of his books and always watching for the next.

horrible ending
No spoilers.
The book itself is reasonably well written with good editing. The story is a hot mess, and the ending leaves you unhappy, dissatisfied, depressed, and angry at the stupidity of the characters.
Generally, in western literature, a story should be entertaining but she also leave the reader satisfied at the end. Sometimes that satisfaction could be a happy sadness, an increase in understanding, or just a straight out satisfying ending.
Other cultures sometimes take a moral story approach where the ending is depressing because you’re supposed to learn the moral/social lesson. This is more like that in the end becomes a preachy lecture where the “main points” are just ranting by the crazy man on the corner.
Overall skip this book.
