Arturo want’s nothing more than to be one of the brave, untouchable heroes he dreamed about as a child. I’ve read all three of his books and I can’t wait for the 4th to come out already! We’ve talked about that and a few other things in this interview earlier.Īrturo just arrived to the city Espadapan, with the intention of joining the Bravadori, the famous swordsmen, whose legends are widely known, and whose main job to keep the order and save the people from any danger. It’s no secret that Benedict Patrick had become one of my favorite authors in 2017. “Boy, don’t you worry, you’ll find yourselfĪll that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied” I can just see before me Arturo’s mom telling his son to be humble and not greedy and foolish. Probably something more mediterranean/mexican would be better, but I can’t get over this one. Anyway, I went and listened to it again, and the more I think about it the more I like the idea of this song being the theme song for Arturo and for the song. Then I remembered this song – maybe because I’ve been listening to Shinedown today and they have an amazing cover of this song. Not exactly sure why, but when I started to think what song should I choose, my mind toward something country like. This review was originally written in 2017 October, but in honor of its cover winning the blogger vote of the SPFBO cover contest, I decided to touch it up a bit and publish it on my blog too. I’ve received an ARC from Benedict Patrick in exchange of an honest review. Start reading today to discover this epic tale of broken heroes and inspiring hope! Personal notes Those Brave, Foolish Souls from the City of Swords is a gritty, action-packed standalone novel set in Benedict Patrick’s Yarnsworld, a land where folktales and fantasy mix, where the monsters from stories are real. When an impending bandit attack threatens untold depravities upon a distant village, and no others will heed the call for help, Arturo joins forces with a worthless outcast and a walking legend to attempt the impossible, to traverse the demon-haunted wilderness and prove that in the City of Swords, true heroes can rise from the unlikeliest of places. Disillusioned and mocked, he stubbornly refuses to give up his dreams. Yet upon arriving he discovers these masked vigilantes have more in common with brutal thugs than noble monster slayers. Young and filled with idealistic fervor, Arturo packs his blade and travels to the fabled City of Swords in the hopes of joining the dashing Bravadori. “The beast opened its mouth, and Arturo expected an almighty growl to come forth, but the actual noise was worse – it was the sound of a baby crying, coming from this filthy, unnatural creature, an uncanny lure that had pulled them all from the safety of the campfire.” Blurbĭon’t draw your blade in the City of Swords, unless you’re willing to kill… or ready to die.
