Since Never

by Christopher Percy

"The King has died and our city mourns. From the ashes of his old administration confusion rises and our enemies from the south send the Turned to take advantage of our weakness. I have something they want. I am charged with its security but even I am at a loss as to why it is so important and relentlessly they pursue me.

"My name is Flendin the Blade and I am a thief. Providence bestowed a monster and a devil to watch over me, proving that friendships can be forged in the most unlikely of places and between the most wicked of people. Together we safeguard my charge. Together we find cohesion, purpose and brotherhood.

"My life had not been the same since leaving Never, and everything would change upon my return there."

4.5 stars. A sweet-hearted monster, a mysterious demon, and a self-preserving thief make up the trio of heroes. A strange combination perhaps, but a deadly and effective one. Despite the necessary brutality that comes with their line of work(aka staying alive while on the run), the characters are each oddly endearing in their own way. The story immerses you into the world immediately, and is difficult to put down. Lots and lots of blood, guts, and uniquely distorted enemies try to thwart our heroes at every turn. Will they be victorious at the end? There is some language and a few lustful moments. But overall, this is one fascinating tale!

If Tarantino wrote fantasy.

I read this in a rush. Very well written. It takes place in dystopian fantasy world. The story is as much about people finding goodness within themselves as it is about fighting off hordes of monsters.
A lot of stuff here is truly original.
Well worth the pennies.
