A review by peter_xxx
Hellknight by Liane Merciel
3.0
This is an excellent book with interesting main characters, a murder mystery and some undertones addressing the dehumanizing of certain minorities in society. Liane Merciel her pathfinder novels always seem to address the tension between good people in evil or brutal societies. This one again sets up a Hellknight, a diabolist and a paladin in a murder mystery involving magic and ancient evil with Cheliax as the backdrop.
Even though the characters are very good and well rounded, and the plot is quite interesting (I might steal some parts for a RPG adventure), it somehow took me quite some effort to get into this book. At certain parts I had to force myself to continue.
