Michael Smith’s Reviews > Malice > Status Update

This joins The Dragonbone Chair as one of my favourite series openers in fantasy.

Is this a highly original series? No. But I care deeply about everything and everyone, and their is a masterful control of all that is happening here that in no way betrays this as a debut.

John Gwynne...I needed a few false starts with this book, but I finally fell in love with Malice.

I would die for Storm. She is the goodest girl.
