The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman

Did not finish book. Stopped at 69%.

The thing about this book is that it’s not bad at all — in fact, it’s a pretty great and adventurous fantasy book. The problem is that it was marketed to me as horror and it absolutely isn’t. It’s dark at times, but never frightening, and I just couldn’t get into it. It’s a good book if you’re looking for a gritty fantasy with a fun narrator, but if you want the crap scared out of you look elsewhere. Also, this book is so song-heavy, and if you listen to the audiobook they actually sing all the songs. This is probably a feature for some people, but as an avid skipper-over of songs in books it was near unbearable.
