A review by 8yalan8
Malice by John Gwynne

adventurous medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

 I didn’t get what I expected, but I liked it either way! 
I expected brute in the fantasy world, and I got giants, coming of age story and a great animal companion.  A grim dark fantasy expectations, title, cover design totally mislead me, and it took some time to get invested in the characters and the story. 
 
The book is a classic fantasy with modern twist, it gets darker little by little, and I can’t wait to read other books in series. 

Also, I have this bad feeling that Storm will die badly, and I will be wrecked.
