Priest of Bones - nagu uus! Müün kuna raamaturiiul on punnis:(

Superhea review, millega 100% nõustun ning poleks saanud paremini ise kirjutada:


Priest of Bones is a very more-ish book, very readable. The prose is solid, the single first person character who delivers the story has a strong voice. It’s a very satisfying book to read, the plot never gets away from itself.

Basically Priest of Bones is a story of organised crime with shades of the Godfather here and there. Our protagonist returns from a horrific war with old friends, family, and new friends formally under his command. I say friends, but Tomas Peity is a leader, sometimes a priest, always a soldier, he commands respect rather than friendship and he is returning to the city he was born in to pick up where he left off, ruling the streets of a sizeable district as its crime lord.

Naturally others have moved in during his absence and heads have to broken, knee-caps removed. Things grow more complicated and the plot thickens, but essentially this is about driving out other gangs, re-establishing control, building an empire of brothels, pubs, gambling houses and the like.

It sounds quite old school. It really isn’t. The cast is diverse in terms of gender, race, and sexual preference. It sounds grim and dark … and it is … but our priest of bones is quite the humanitarian for a ruthless crime lord, intolerant of rape, violence against women (unless they are armed), child abuse, the drug trade, treating the poor badly, the list goes on. It doesn’t stop him leading an exciting life though and cutting his way through some very grimdark situations. There’s blood and shit in large measure.

Fantasy enters the story through the sporadic appearance of sorcerers with a trainee on the home team. The magic is definitely of the mysterious variety rather than the magic-system sort.

I found it to be a really good read. It’s not a book that stuns you with originality, powerful prose, cunningly engineered plot … it’s just very fun to read. It’s a charismatic book.
