Goldsboro Fellowship

The book arrived today and it was carefully packed. It is a gorgeous book and comes with the Brodart cover that all Goldsboro books have. I am proud to have this book in my collection, both for its' beauty and because I love Katherine Arden's writing.

First order, and the book is beautiful and came in great condition for an over seas shipping. It also came with an extra book since it was my first one.

I am enjoying this book far more than I thought I would. The premise of the story seemed like that of many, many other fantasy books and this is the debut novel for this author. But, I like it. It has elements and characters that remind me very much of Joe Abercrombie's books. I suspect that Mr. Mosse is an Abercrombie fan. Thom is a more refined Logan Ninefingers. Fenne reminds me of the female character in Sharp Ends. Luck Lamourney also has that air of a disenchanted, disenfranchised warrior and Eli Gregorian shows promise of being an Inquisitor Glotka. However, I don't hold these similarities against The Mistral as they may only be in my imagination and any imagined likenesses only add to my enjoyment of the book.
