David Dalglish: A Dance of Blades

 Hi everyone

A Dance of Blades is the second book in the Shadowdance series, written by David Dalglish.
I read this on my e-reader.

"It's been five years since Haern faked his death to escape the tyranny of his father. He has become the Watcher, a vicious killer who knows no limits, and whose hatred of the thief guilds is unrivaled. But when the son of Alyssa Gemcroft, one of the three leaders of the powerful Trifect, is believed murdered, the slaughter begins anew. Mercenaries flood the streets, with one goal in find and kill the Watcher."

I really enjoyed this book. The writing is easy to read, I like the characters, it's full of action and fighting, the story never slows down and I like the worldbuilding.

One thing I didn't love; the character of Alyssa. She just felt off. Boring, uninterested in anything happening in her world, naive and definitely not a strong, powerful character like the others. I really disliked reading her chapters.

Happy reading!
