Very Good Book
This was my second attempt at Malice, although I must admit I didn’t give it a real chance previously, when I’d only read the first chapter. I know now that it was the narrator of the audiobook that I had issues with. I have completed it today. It did take a while to get into the story. I think the issue was John Gwynne’s patience in telling this tale, and my impatience for the story to truly get going. Ultimately, I enjoyed this book immensely, but more so toward the end. But that’s ok. I now know what it is about this book that people love so much. As the chapters are POV-oriented, I will delve into them now. My favorite of the lot was Corban. This was his coming-of-age story, and I really like those stories. He is the character I remain the most vested in interest. I also liked Cywen. In those POV’s, I liked their family the most, as well as Gar and Storm. I liked Corban’s chapters for the entirety of the book. I initially liked Nathair and Veradis, but about mid-book, they started to annoy me. I now know why, or at least I think I do. Also, I didn’t start liking Camlin until late in the story. As for Kastell and Maquin, I never did feel for them, even at Kastell’s last chapter in the book. I have decided to continue with these books, but I do not fee compelled to start now. I have other books I want to read first, but I will continue with the story. With the way it ended, I admit I do want to know what happens next.
