It’s called a guns and sorcery book, and that’s what we get. Gorel is an anti-hero. He’s a gunslinger and kills for his own benefit. He’s hooked on a drug called the God’s Kiss, but nevertheless we side with him as he does have redeeming qualities.

Gorel was outcast from his lands a long time ago and he is trying to steal a mirror that will give him a way to find his home, and the story takes him to a city, where a frog-like race lives. The story is an adventure style tale, where Gorel’s goal is to steal the mirror. He ends up meeting creatures along the way that eventually make up a band of thieves. Things don’t go as planed, Gorel finds himself in the middle of game played by Gods, including the Pot Bellied God, and the ending is neither bad or good. It just is, for this anti-hero.

I liked it. It starts off slow but picks up and I thought the ending was satisfactory. This wasn’t a great book, but it was a fun book. I guess there will be another book with the charactyer of Gorel coming out soon. I liked it enough that I’ll seek that one out too.
