The Blurb On The Back:
”We ain’t thieves and we ain’t killers, we’s just good men been done wrong.”
The year is 1364. Hungry creatures stalk the dark woods of medieval Europe, and both sea and sky team with unspeakable horrors. There is no foulness, however, no witch nor demon, to rival the grave-robbing twins Hegel and Manfried Grossbart. This is their tale, sad but true.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Jesse Bullington’s debut novel is an unusual historical fantasy that really runs with the idea of anti-heroes. Although there were things that I liked about it, overall it didn’t come together with me because the main characters are just so unlikeable while the road trip structure meant there were long periods where little happened. However, there was enough here to make me interested in reading Jesse Bullington’s next book.
