Faerie Tale (The Tamar Black Saga # 5) Reviews
-
This is the first Tamar Black book that I've come across. The narrative style I found to be very engaging & informal, almost conversational, which I felt was refreshing after all the doom-laden, overly dramatic purple prose found in so much fantasy literature. The characters are well observed & believable, with well written, fluent dialogue, rather than the often rather wooden stereotypical architypes favoured by many authors. The story is original, while still managing to incorporate many mythic elements from differing cultures woven together seamlessly into a highly enjoyable tale that carries the reader along effortlessly, through setbacks & reversals of fortune to a very pleasing conclusion. I enjoyed this introduction to Nicola Rhodes work immensely & would recommend it without reservation, even to those whose palate for fantasy fiction, like mine has become quite jaded through over-exposure. I shall be reading a lot more by this author & hope that she continues to produce work of such quality.
