A review by hanakorc
Banner of the Damned by Sherwood Smith
2.0
Oh, boy. I keep reading Sherwood Smith's stuff because I was such a huge fan of Crown Duel. Unfortunately, besides Cornets and Steel, nothing has been even close to as good.
This book is 700 pages long. It took about 400 pages for me to get involved in the story, and the book doesn't get really interesting until the last 20 pages. It seems to build a little bit off Inda, so perhaps I would have appreciated it more if I had read that.
This is one of those books that I cannot figure out why it was so long. This book could have easily been condensed into 400-500 pages. The characters had good depth but the plot moved slowly. I also really struggle visualizing the world this book takes place in, and all of the crazy fan and hand gestures.
Overall, I can't say I'd recommend this.
