A review by chrisbookishcauldron
The Sorcerers' Plague by David B. Coe

2.0

I loved Coe’s Winds of the Forelands novels, so I was eager to read more set in that world. But alas I think I’m going to skip the rest of the books in the blood of the south lands. This was in my opinion no where near as good as his previous work. Tons of page time was given to characters who were ultimately meaningless to the plot. The writing felt very different to the writing in the Forelands novels. The complexity of the forelands was lost here as well, and instead replaced with extremely repetitive sequences of towns being poisoned. Of course I like Grinsa and Cressene, but they didn’t show up until over halfway through the book and their story in this was just not compelling or interesting at all.
