Copper Promise by Jen Williams
When it comes to exploring haunted citadels, you should always carry a weapon, trust no one and, most important of all, remember the golden rule: let sleeping gods lie.
There are some tall stories about the caverns beneath the Citadel - about magic and mages and monsters and gods.
Wydrin of Crosshaven has heard them all, but she's spent long enough trawling caverns and taverns with her companion Sir Sebastian to learn that there's no money to be made in chasing rumours.
But then a crippled nobleman with a dead man's name offers them a job: exploring the Citadel's darkest depths. It sounds like just another quest with gold and adventure ... if they're lucky, they might even have a tale of their own to tell once it's over.
These reckless adventurers will soon learn that sometimes there is truth in rumour. Sometimes a story can save your life.
Overall a very good book and an enjoyable read.
The book doesn't offer very much in the way of character backgrounds at the start of the book as it jumps almost immediately into the adventure..
The book is a page turner in terms of action but does not deliver as much with character development.
The character interaction is good and interesting.with the dangerous female , gay night and crippled Lord.
Copper Promise didn't have the emotional depth the story deserved.
A good debut novel with the dungeons and dragons feel,
I Score this book 3 out of 4
