Book Review of Seven Sorcerers.
I enjoyed reading Seven Sorcerers.
Mainly this is because of the different creatures that Nin meets throughout the book. While I don’t find Nin herself particularly interesting, those she interacts with in the world of the Seven Sorcerers certainly are. And it was certainly intriguing how some of the most beautiful creatures were among the deadliest. I especially liked how the ones who are most helpful towards Nin are also those usually associated with being the bad guys. My favourite characters surprisingly was a mud man and a bogey man. Besides this I thought it very cleverly done that a number of characters aren’t truly black or white.
Another reason I’m curious about this one was the mystery of the dying land. What is the plague that is kiling the Fabulous and their world ? What part has Nin and her friends to play in this ? What did the Seven Sorcerers do to escape their demise ? Although I didn’t get all the answers I was looking for, I certainly had fun trying to figure them out.
My conclusion : Definitely worth a read. Fantasy readers looking for a lighter fare should try this out.
