![]() But now the Guild has a job for him: embark on a secret mission and the Guild will pay off his debt. ![]() Like many such thieves, Kinch is deep in debt to the Guild and he’s been branded with a tattoo on his cheek that will remain there until the debt is paid off. ![]() The story is told by Kinch Na Shannack, a Galt thief trained by the Takers Guild. But if you love stories that are full of fantastical beasts, magic, bloody fights and unusual relationships, I think you will love this too. There is plenty of action to be found, but Buehlman takes his time introducing the world and characters, and the pace slows down at times as he delves into the details. However, The Blacktongue Thiefis by no means a fast paced story, which might deter some readers. You can’t tell by looking at the cover, but this book is hysterically funny in places, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Buehlman takes a familiar fantasy trope-the hero’s journey-and twists it in new and exciting ways. When listening for danger, one must never mistake silence for safety.Ĭolor me surprised and delighted by Christopher Buehlman’s traditional fantasy debut! I wasn’t sure what to expect but I did not expect this. ![]() The nitty-gritty: A bawdy, irreverent and joyful adventure, The Blacktongue Thief is an excellent start to an exciting series. The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
