It was violent, morbid, and morally confusing. This was in stark contrast of The Blade Itself’s opening, which frankly threw you into the middle of a yarn that didn’t properly explain itself for a while.

Normally, if a book doesn’t grab me by the first few pages, I give up. I gave TBI a shot though, as the back of the book blurb sounded very enticing. I’m glad I stuck with it. Joe ended up becoming one of my favorite authors, hands down.
