Malfus: Necromancer Unchained by Casey Sutton
3.0
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC
The plot is quite simple. You could even say "nothing really happened!" There are no multiple story arcs, subplots, etc. But then again, you can also say that Old Man and the Sea is just a fishing story. While this book is nowhere near a literary classic, its forte lies in the characters. You get to see the story through every character, even the seemingly minor character like the random guard that only appears for a quick scene. Might seem unnecessary, but their unique view on what is happening surprisingly adds to the overall story of people rising up to fight against an overwhelming force.
It is no surprise to find that Sutton is a DnD DM. He succeeded in painting a vivid picture of the scene and showing what is going on inside the characters. This is an entertaining, fleshed-out beginning of a necromancer's [mis]adventure. There are still unanswered questions that hopefully we will discover in the future.
