Review title: A synopsis of a novel, not the novel itself.
Product review: Lack of dialogue, more 'telling' than 'showing', rushed pacing, and overuse of authorial intrusions make this book a disappointment to loyal readers of Patricia Kennealy-Morrison. 'Blackmantle' might have been an epic series stretched out along two or three books, but even having to wait for those books would have been preferable to reading what amounts to a several hundred page synopsis of the novel(s) the author should have written. If you want vintage Kennealy-Morrison, stick with 'The Copper Crown', 'The Throne of Scone', or 'The Silver Branch'.
