![]() ![]() Things aren’t looking up for Alec of Kerry. It’s all written with a pleasantly light touch (if you’ve read Swordspoint, this has a similar blend of drama and humour). Our characters live by their wits, intrigues and more than a spot of derring-do: there is much swashing of buckles. Unlike those, however, this is unashamedly high fantasy, with wizards, magic, the odd centaur, and a definite hint of Dark Lord brewing on the horizon.Īs you might know, I’m generally slightly wary of full-on high fantasy, with all the bells and whistles of sorcery and unpronounceable names, but Luck in the Shadows isn’t really like that: at heart, it’s a story about people. ![]() Luck in the Shadows has proven to be an enjoyable start to the Nightrunner series: something of a lighter cross between Swordspoint and The Lies of Locke Lamora. ![]() Lynn Flewelling has been on the edge of my awareness for a couple of years and, when her books were also recommended by Goodreads, I decided it was time to give her a go. After Angélique, I thought it was time for something slightly more characteristic. ![]()
