The premisI really enjoyed the way the author brings a story that touches on many genres and manages to balance them all and weave them all together. The premise is well structured with backstory and history between our leading characters but also looks at the other relationships around them. Peter Cloutier’s characterizations come through observations wherein he allows the reader into his emotional mindset as it pertains to the different roles and interactions between characters. The storyline conflict is both internal and external and everything it has to offer really heightens the experience. ...more

I enjoyed the main plot of tBearing the Blades was a great read. My very first from this author. It’s a fantasy read that appealed to me in many ways.
I enjoyed the main plot of the story. And I liked most of the characters. These people who sort of edge the line of good and evil. Honestly most of the characters in this book do bad things, but they also have somewhat good intentions, or they are only doing what they believe is the right thing. I mean there are true bad characters in this story, but it’s difficult at times to weed them out. This book has lots of twist and turns and plot twists....more
