IF YOU SAY ONE THING ABOUT LOGEN NINEFINGERS AND YOU SAY ONLY ONE THING, SAY HE'S A KILLER The book starts with the action straight off. This was my second time with this book and I enjoyed it as much the second time through. Like George RR, these characters are fleshed out and you spend enough time with them, that you don't have to worry about being confused.
BOOKU BLADE FULL
This is a character driven story full of wisdom, blood and gore, pain (physical and emotional), LOL moments, sarcasm, sword and sorcery, cold vivid landscape, magic, twists and turns and lots of characters which are well developed. I RECKON ONE MAN'S THOUGHTS ARE WORTH AS BOUT AS MUCH AS ANOTHER'S You can trust the 4.6 rating on this book and the glowing reviews. Unpredictable, compelling, wickedly funny, and packed with unforgettable characters, The Blade Itself is noir fantasy with a real cutting edge. Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Logen, Jezal, and Glokta a whole lot more difficult. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it.Įnter the wizard, Bayaz.

"Many readers will identify with Blade's struggle to find his place in a family where he feels like an outsider." -Publishers Weekly "A rhythmic, impassioned ode to family, identity, and the history of rock and roll." -Booklist, starred review "A contemporary hero's journey, brilliantly told." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review In its place is a letter, one that could bring Blade the freedom and love he's been searching for, or leave him feeling even more adrift. But when a long-held family secret comes to light, the music disappears. And songwriting is all Blade has left after Rutherford, while drunk, crashes his high school graduation speech and effectively rips Chapel away forever. In reality, the only thing Blade and Rutherford have in common is the music that lives inside them. The one true light is his girlfriend, Chapel, but her parents have forbidden their relationship, assuming Blade will become just like his father. Or to no longer be part of a family known most for lost potential, failure, and tragedy, including the loss of his mother.

She gives a lot of herself to her new friends, not because she is poor or oppressed but because she exhibits time-honored Ghanaian customs and traditions. Joy is wise beyond her years and doesn’t fall blindly for the Americans who swoop into her small village. We learn about family-Joy takes care of her sick uncle despite dreams of finishing school and tends to children in the community who are orphaned. We gain insight about the half-built school and well-aid projects that were never finished. Joy flips back and forth between her native language and perfect English (better than Blade’s). She is the person who teaches us the most about Ghana. Rock legends, including Nigerian Fela Kuti, are woven throughout the story and help to push the narrative along. The emotions expressed by Blade are true to the teen experience.
