Explanation As Books Masques (Sianim #1)

Backed by an army of undead, Geoffrey ae'Magi, master of illusion, threatens to devour Aralorn's peaceful kingdom of Reth... — The ae'Magi is corrupt and yet irresistibly charismatic, the horror at his core shaded by a spell-cast mask of regal charm. Only a few have the will to resist his evil domination... like King Myr, dragon blessed, Wolf, driven by immortal rage, and Aralorn, weaponsmistress of the shapeshifting race.

Captured and brought to the Archmage's castle, Aralorn faces slow death by torture unless faithful Wolf can find her in a labrynth of power and shadows.

Assessment Based On Books Masques (Sianim #1)

Black Wolf, Blue Eyes ★★★½✩ (This is a review of the audiobook.) Nicely narrated by Katherine Kellgren. I had to get used to her, or maybe she just got better, but she was using some kind of a weird superior tone at the beginning. Otherwise, her pacing and the inflections are right for the situations. She is good with both male and female voices. As an extra, we get to hear Patricia Briggs voice & thoughts for the intro as to why she chose to change some things and not others, since this

Not my favorite of her fantasy books. For those who are fans of her urban fantasy and have never read her fantasy, this may not be the best book to start with. I thought the pacing lagged a bit in spots. But it's still better than a lot of books I've read this year, because it's Briggs, who even at her "not my favorite" is still really darn good.

If I didn't love Patricia Briggs (and know that there was a more recently-written sequel to this), I probably would have given up within the first half. The gives plenty of warnings that this is, indeed, a first novel, and that she only did minor polishing to get it ready for a re-printing, but that doesn't change the fact that parts of this are just down-right hard to get through.The first 50-ish pages (after the prologue) are effectively a ginormous infodump, and for the sanity of other

Hey look, I read a novel! This was a solid 3.5.I already liked Patricia Briggs so I figured this wouldn't be awful - which, yay, it wasn't. I liked all of the characters, the world, the story ... but it was missing something. Honestly I think it was just because this was Brigg's first novel and I know she's capable of better.Good stuff, though.

Disclaimer: I read (listened to) the updated 2010 version which had been re-written and fleshed out considerably (according to the author's introduction), and was almost twice the length of the original 1993 release.I really struggled to rate this one. It's so hard not to compare it to her Mercy Thompson series, which is a mistake because that really is in a class of its own. Not even the spin-off Alpha and Omega series compares to it, in truth. But it's hard not to at least compare writing

This was Briggs' first book and it really shows. Also, I do not like her as a writer of high fantasy, and in the future I think I will stick to her urban fantasy novels. If you are thinking about reading this author for the first time, I would start with another book, as I do not think this book is a good representation of her writing.

3.5 stars. This is Briggs' first novel, which has been out of print for ages and ages but was recently reissued. She added an introduction that makes it pretty clear that she finds the novel kind of embarrassingly bad and agreed to the reissue because of fan demand and not because she actually thought the book deserved it. So I was kind of wary going in, especially since I'd read a couple of her other novels set in this world and found them kind of meh--I figured the very first would be even
