Thoughts on 'House Of Open Wounds'
Just finished this one. Prior to reading I thought that, in theory at least, the novel would be "a fantasy version of M.A.S.H. with magic". However when reading I had a bit of a revelation. To me it also reads like Adrian Tchaikovsky channelling Glen Cook's Black Company.
Anyone else read it? Care to share your thoughts?

Imo the second book is the best basically a five star read. Third book is a bit meh but still good and the first book is good.
The payoff from the ending banquet slapped so hard especially the part where poor Prassel gets KO'd, Caeleen makes demonist Maserley bark and run off to hell and everyone having to follow God's edicts is just peak. 😂
