CSFF Blog Tour: Patrick Carr's A Draw of Kings, Day Three
Overall, things I loved—the borrowing from Earth cultures,
as if this were an alternate Earth. The parallel story of apostasy in the
Church, with a few who know the truth or suspect there’s more—and then the
beautiful discovery that there is, and how various characters’ lives changed as
a result.
I loved the complexity of the characters. And the richness
of Errol’s journey. And the fact that the author doesn’t make things too easy
on them. (I’m still shuddering, as another blogger mentioned, what Adora had to
endure in book three!)


One thing that was a bit of a letdown—the ending felt a bit
sparse. That tends to be my complaint about a lot of stories, that there isn’t
enough wrap-up to let the reader really savor the resolution. In this case, and
others had made the same observation, I just didn’t feel the story
wrapped up as satisfyingly as I would have liked, emotionally, even though the main story questions were
answered.
Regardless, this was a trilogy well worth reading, and
despite my very limited reading time, I plan to revisit it soon!
