Writing is extremely nice, rich and subtle, without the usual heaviness of style (long and unnecessary description, free and redundant metaphors empoulé style that blends quality and vocabulary accumulation -although often misused elsewhere -...) .
Blood Moons avoids this pitfall, evocations remaining very simply but powerfully imaginative for that one plunges easily into her world.
The psychological description of the characters, especially torments the narrator, the dwarf Evrahl gives great strength and an unusual sensitivity.
Here's a novel I would have liked to love it!
But perhaps I was expecting too much in comparison with the series of Glen Cook.
For there was a catch.
Alas, three times alas, the book is thick (600 pages), and it was not until the last 50 for the story finally takes off, all the above serving as a kind of interminable introduction. Very long hesitations Evrahl become bored as the conclusion is obvious from the beginning. A false suspense maintained on 600 pages, it is long.
No investigation, no suspense ... and no action. When she arrives, she quickly evacuated, the author clearly not being comfortable in this exercise.
And, above all, the items "Fantasy" characters are not exploited. The fact that the narrator is a dwarf finally intervenes only very marginally. And finally brings nothing to the story.
Rest the description of a world, to the "Jack Vance", very nice. And again very well written.
But 600 pages for that, it's at least 3 times too.
