Thanks to Tor Dot Com Books for the free copy of this book.
- THE FIREBORNE BLADE is a compact novella with a fantastic story packed into it. Dragons! Lady Knights! Magic! Plot twists! Hints of sapphism!
- The story unfolds between accounts of other knights attempting to slay other dragons, which widened the world in an entertaining way rather than via information dump at the start of the book.
- It’s hard to discuss a novella with a plot twist without giving too much away, but know that I devoured this book and enjoyed every moment. I’m looking forward to reading more from Bond in the future.
