Black Stone Heart by Michael R. Fletcher

4.0

---

Strong prose and narrative, with complex characters but it was hard to a actively invest in the story because of how amoral the main character was. This was the point of the book, an exploration of that morality, but it's still hard to enjoy a main character who actively, and repeatedly, murders and butchers innocents. Him lamenting these actions helps to maintain interest but it's not really enough. Two of the three major plot reveals were fairly predictable, though one barely counts as reveal since it was almost a given from the start.
