Black Stone Heart by Michael R. Fletcher
3.0

Khraen searches for the obsidian parts of his heart. He falls in love on his journey for this task. A lot of the first half of the book is about this. I’m not sure I enjoyed it, I wanted more of the task, more history of the demonologists and wizards, etc. I wanted less about his love for Shalayn and later Henka. I was just not into it. I felt that it was constant whatever woman showed up he was into, get on with the story.

The concept though was good, I really liked the idea of this world that was ruled by wizards who had rewritten history to make themselves the heroes and all the questions that brought up. I feel like if the story focused more on this I’d have been more interested. I wanted to know why the world ruled by wizards was so bad, I wanted to see more of what life was like before they had won.

The last 30 pages were good, but I found the whole book focused more on Khraen’s relationships and less about the world and the demonologists, etc. I expected more. I would have enjoyed a book about his past life way more.
