The Sword Defiant by Gareth Hanrahan. It's enjoyable.
I really wish he'd describe scenes visually, but it's character driven and he does a good job with their internal lives.
I used to skip all the visual descriptions, didn't care much about them (also, didn't understood half of the words used to explain the appearance of things or people). I have started to pay attention to them now, but I would probably still like a book that doesn't worry about these too much.
Is it a series? Or a single book?
There's definitely a balance to be struck with descriptions. Too little beats too much, IMO, but I appreciate a little food for my imagination.
It's the first book in a series (I think). It's epic fantasy, but it's set in the Happily Ever After. The protagonist is part of the motley crew that defeated the big bad twenty years earlier.
His previous series (Black Iron Legacy) was a lot of fun. Of recommend them both.
Sounds interesting, going to check them out. Thanks!
