#35 The Blacktongue Thief - Full Review
Sam and Dan review The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman.
SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers. We strongly recommend reading this book before listening.
We explore Christopher Buehlman's Dungeons and Dragons inspired world through this first-person retrospective epic adventure containing, thieves, assassins, giants and goblins. We deep dive into our narrator's character development, his perspective and wonderful use of humour. We talk about our favourite parts of the world-building, including the amazing cultural development of different nations within this world. And we talk about the quality of the writing, before giving our conclusions.
