A review by stenaros
The Afterward by E.K. Johnston

4.0

Read for Librarian Book Group

E.K. Johnston builds us a world where a group of knights, a mage and a thief have successfully completed a quest and now it's back to the everyday. But the everyday is tough. Some of them have battle trauma, some of them have to do things to survive that become increasingly hard. Some of them are in love, and can't be together for various reasons.

This book constantly challenged my mental pictures, and I love it for that. It's also a fantasy book that doesn't take place today that I was still interested in reading. Big wins! Hopefully it will get a better cover in the future.
