The Copper Promise by Jen Williams
3.0
I wish I had known that this story was originally 4 novellas before reading it. Looking back, I can see the different parts, but I think not making that division clear ended up harming this collection as a whole rather than helping it. I would have had much different expectations for character development and pacing, for example.
That being said, this was a fun sword and sorcery read. It didn't shock and awe but it was solid all the way through with a great cast and a fast moving, enjoyable story. Definitely a recommend if you're looking for a comfy teddy bear of a read, usually what I'm looking for if I've been on a string of duds. I'll be moving on to 2 and 3 as soon as I get them ordered from Book Depository to match my UK cover for Book 1. =)
