A review by everlaerian
The Books of the South by Glen Cook
4.0
Not as good as the Books of the North but damn well great!
I had grown attached to Croaker and his narrative so have him slip out and be replaced by Lady was a bit awkward. She isn't my favourite person so I did have a bit of a hard time with her. Even though you finally get a glimpse of her POV, I prefer her sister Soul Catcher (welcome back Catch!!!). I ended up despising Lady when she became even more important not only as the great lady, wife of the Dominator but now a prophecy seems to linger around that she is the one or she is the great something to it. Arg... The one pain of many books and I had hoped that Cook would not do that exact thing- All the fricking prophecies in the world around always about one person... So damn annoying and ruins my reading.
Other than that, no complains. As you get so used to Croaker's narrative and detailing that when Lady takes over, the narrative changes in a different but still enjoyable way.
Not really into Silver Spike. It felt out of place since this is just a narration of the character that have left years ago and what they are doing... so out of place... especially when reading Books of the South...
