Narration In Favor Of Books A Dance of Cloaks (Shadowdance #1)
Thren Felhorn is the greatest assassin of his time. Marshalling the thieves’ guilds under his control, he declares war against the Trifect, an allegiance of wealthy and powerful nobles. Aaron Felhorn has been groomed since birth to be Thren’s heir. Sent to kill the daughter of a priest, Aaron instead risks his own life to protect her from the wrath of his guild. In doing so, he glimpses a world beyond poison, daggers, and the iron control of his father. Guilds twist and turn, trading allegiances for survival. The Trifect weakens, its reputation broken, its money dwindling. The players take sides as the war nears its end, and Thren puts in motion a plan to execute hundreds. Only Aaron can stop the massacre and protect those he loves… Assassin or protector; every choice has its consequences.Mention Books Toward A Dance of Cloaks (Shadowdance #1)

REACH THE ZENITH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's great and extremely rare when you find a author who is extraordinarily eccentric .And David Dalglish is exactly that .This was a engrossing and absorbing book. I really enjoy reading books where the character's are so vulnerable , raw and exposed . Unpredictability is a definite turn on and turn pager ! Many of the character's are faced with faith and redemption that was not cajoling or contemptuous .Spellbind and thrilling this was a tight andWell. This review may sound like a hater's, but I didn't hate this. Not exactly. It was, like, maybe for a young audience, perhaps boys, looking for a lightweight but violent fast read, who are also starting the turbulence and depressions of puberty. It isn't bad or too creepy or nasty for most kids who play modern video games, but perhaps sensitive (or literary) readers might feel this is equal to eating plain popcorn on top of white bread with a thin bloody jam. It makes that kind of
Reviewed for A Drop of RomeoThe way Dalglish came up with this story was thinking about which character in his Half-Orc series would make a good side-story - and his one side-story somehow ended up into the Shadowdance Series, books I absolutely adore! Rather than the magic and elves and orcs of his Half-Orc story, Dalglish wanted to write a story more focused on the struggles of the people - in his words, "I could focus on humans, the low and the desperate".Aaron Felhorn, our protagonist, is
Fantastic read! It reminded me a lot of the Night Angle trilogy by Brent Weeks and if you liked it this is definitely worth a try. I absolutely loved the pacing, especially the first 100 pages suck you in brilliantly and from there on the story keeps unpredictably turning and twisting making it a super fun read. David Dalgish starts to build an interesting world, limited to the city it plays in though. Hopefully we get to see a little bit more of the world in coming books.The characters were
Executive Summary: A premise that should be right up my alley, just seemed to fall flat in its execution. Full Review I was only vaguely aware of this book when it was chosen by a Kickstarter backer for the April Sword & Laser pick. It wasn't on my To-Read list though. A quick scan of my friends showed people who mostly weren't that impressed. That said, I've surprised at times by books that were chosen, and I try to always read the S&L pick, even if I'm not that into it.Most people who
I have to say that this story didn't get me that excited. To be honest, I think a large part of that is because of the narration, which is some of the worst I have heard. The narrator is fine with the story itself, but his characters are just awful and it makes you cringe so much that it becomes unlistenable. If you ever wondered what a Lebanese/Scottish/Slavic accent sounds like, you'll hear it this story, just before it changes into a northern English with a hint of god knows what. He just
