Constantly brought Pratchett to mind... Quietly humorous and hopeful, House of Open Wounds hit hardest in how it prioritizes healers over warriors
Constantly brought Pratchett to mind... Quietly humorous and hopeful, House of Open Wounds hit hardest in how it prioritizes healers over warriors
This grim and exceptional look at fantasy warfare from Tchaikovsky feels like M*A*S*H written by an uncharacteristically somber Terry Pratchett... Not to be missed
An extraordinarily powerful and provocative read... both epic and intimate in scale, capturing the structure of fear and hope in a war-torn existence
One of the best pieces of fantasy fiction I have read in recent years… a gem in the genre
Reminiscent of Terry Pratchett at his best... a dazzling example of intelligent, engaging and superlative writing
