A Blackbird in Silver

Intense and fast-moving epic fantasy - there are a lot if flashbacks, but a lot of stuff happens in the flashbacks so that's okay. I don't know if I loved it, but I did like it, it's perfectly passable entertainment. The whole thing of racial characteristics being baked-in dates it - at least I hope fantasy writers have left that tendency behind - but doesn't completely spoil it.

Been a while since I've read a "quest" fantasy novel.
Enjoyable enough, but not really finding much depth to the characters.
It's also taken a long time for them to make not much progress at all.

But, I'll continue on with the series and see how it progresses.
Trying to guess what Medrian's big secret is, and how it fits in with the whole quest will hopefully keep me absorbed for a while yet.

Liked it at the time but can't recall a thing about it so on that basis, can only give it an average review.
