![]() Aleksander murders his enemies when it’s convenient. Seyonne survives by living in the moment, never thinking more than a few minutes into the future, crushed by the weight of his misery.įinally he finds his way into the household of Prince Aleksander of the Derzhi.Īleksander is an asshole. He’s traded from master to matter, beaten and tortured and raped and starved. He no longer tries to escape, because he’s been so tainted by his slavery that his family will no longer take him back. He lost his innocence, his dignity, his self respect. ![]() Seyonne was enslaved for sixteen years, breaking him in body and soul, stripping him of magic. But the Derzhi empire conquered his people, and Seyonne was captured. Seyonne fought demons as a Warden, wielding potent magics in the defense of mankind. Before, he was a warrior from a tribe of demon hunters. Seyonne has been a slave for half his life. This novel follows a slave as he transforms from being a broken husk of a man to a powerful (if still a bit broken) spiritual warrior. ‘Curse’ is one of my favorite books, and probably one of the best Fantasy novels of all time, so this similarity is an excellent thing. ![]() This book reminded me of ‘The Curse of Chalion’ in all the best ways. This is a great way to start a year of reviews! ‘Transformation’ by Carol Berg is an excellent book. ![]() ![]() Previous books by the author/in the series I’ve reviewed: Personal Rating: Satisfying Authorial Voice, Great Characters, Enjoyed it Greatly Overall Rating: Highly Recommended ( How I Rate Books ) ![]()
