No Land For Heroes by Cal Black
5.0
What I Did Like:
+Excellent opening chapter. Right away we get elves, dragons, and epic world building all while engrossed in a scene that feels right out of a western. It sets up the entire story well. If you’re on the fence about this one, see if it has a preview or look inside feature and check out that first chapter.
+Banter. This can sell me on a book every time. Characters in this one, specifically Millie and Gil, have amazing banter that carry the story and make the reader laugh out loud.
+Love the levels to the story. This has multiple characters in what initially feels like separate storylines but when it all crashes together, it’s beautiful.
Who Should Read This One:
-Fantasy fans. The dragons, elves, and other fantasy creatures are just commonplace in this world. It’s wonderful!
-Western fans. Of course, take that with a caveat of fantasy being included, but the plot to this one sings as a western.
My Rating: 5 Stars
When you combine 2 genres like this you take a risk that you’ll get both very wrong. But when it works and both genres can sing in harmony, it’s amazing.
