The Unspoken Name The Unspoken Name

Publisher Description

In this stunning epic fantasy debut, a young priestess sentenced to die is offered a chance at a new life as an assassin, spy, and thief in service to a powerful mage.

Csorwe knows she will die on the day of her foretold death, climbing the mountain to enter the Shrine of the Unspoken and gain the honored title of sacrifice.

But when a powerful mage offers her a new fate - to leave with him and live, turning away from her destiny and god to become his loyal sword - Csorwe must decide whether to accept. If she does, she'll topple an empire and help him reclaim his seat of power.

However, Csorwe will soon learn that gods remember, and if you live long enough, all debts come due.

"In the vein of Le Guin's magnificent Tombs of Atuan—if Arha the Eaten One got to grow up to be a swordswoman mercenary in thrall to her dubious wizard mentor. I love this book so much."—Arkady Martine, author of A Memory Called Empire

"I cannot recommend it enough." -- Tamsyn Muir, author of Gideon the Ninth

The Unspoken Name is a thrilling fantasy adventure featuring LGBTQ characters, fantastical creatures, and a gripping tale of destiny and difficult choices. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy, sword and sorcery, and stories driven by complex female characters.

Comes with a dictionary. Really?

Downloaded the sample. The book starts with a pronunciation guide for the twenty-some character names. Seriously? Did not buy the book, so I cannot speak for the rest of it.

Rough

I’ve never read a book with a more forgettable cast. I forced my way through this one and could not wait for it to be finished. If the author had filled in some of the giant gaps in the story, it actually might have been a little interesting. The world is very vague and feels like an afterthought. The magic system system is very basic and really only serves as a plot device. My biggest gripe with this book is that I feels like a first draft.
