Book Review: Fatherland
By Elizabeth Suggs
Fatherland by Ginevra Mancinelli is a fantasy novel about vengeance, pain, love, glory, and so much more.
I really enjoyed this book not only for the great descriptions and writing, but also the Games of Thrones-y vibe, what with some of the gore, wording, and politics, but Fatherland is very much it’s own story with it’s own unique universe and tale.
And while this book is pretty large, it isn’t long-winded or boring. Never once did I hope it would end soon because I was so engrossed with the plot and the characters. Mancinelli has some awesome descriptions and three-dimensional characters. Even the less important characters were well-crafted.
Fun quote:
Fran wasn’t as good as him and a terrible friend to horses.
I’m excited to see what else Mancinelli has to offer. Read this book if you love fantasy political stories!
