Publisher's Weekly review of The Final Sacrifice

THE FINAL SACRIFICE was reviewed in the 5/19 edition of Publisher's Weekly. To my knowledge this is the first book in the series they've reviewed.

Though billed as the closer to a trilogy (following 2007's The Sea Change), this low-key climax to the chronicles of scholarly monk Josan and reluctant Ikarian Emperor Lucius stands surprisingly well on its own...Amiable storytelling and brisk pacing make this an agreeable summer read.

Cool!

Full review is here.

I have to say, I love the phrase "Amiable storytelling..." Does this mean there is such a thing as "Hostile storytelling"? Or shall we go with "unfriendly storytelling"....perhaps even "grumpy storytelling"?

I'm sure I've read grumpy storytelling books :-)
