Once a fabled Blade of Namara, Aral Kingslayer fought for justice and his goddess alongside his familiar, a living shadow called Triss. Now with their goddess murdered and her temple destroyed, they are among the last of their kind. Surviving on the fringes of society, Aral becomes a drunken, broken, and wanted man, working whatever shadowy deal comes his way. Until a mysterious woman hires him to deliver a secret message-one that can either redeem him or doom him.

Review of 'Broken Blade' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

This book left me slightly disappointed. It was very entertaining at first, but it suffered from being the first book in a new universe. The author, rather clumsily, added what I felt was too much exposition. Some things should have been revealed/explained later to make for an easier read. I might still pick up the second book of this series, because I have the hope that the author could focus more on the story and the characters.
