Thieves World 8 Soul of the City Review

Описание: In this in-depth Soul of the City review, I break down every story in the 8th volume of the Thieves’ World anthology series to help fantasy readers and short story fans decide whether this book is worth their time. Soul of the City brings together stories by Lynn Abbey, C. J. Cherryh, and Janet Morris, focusing heavily on interconnected plots, recurring characters, and the escalating struggle for control of Sanctuary, including the ongoing threat posed by Roxane. I discuss each story’s strengths and weaknesses, narrative cohesion, point-of-view choices, use of fantasy tropes, and how well the book works as a short story collection. If you’re new to Thieves’ World, returning to the series, or looking for an honest fantasy book review, this video will give you a clear overview of what Soul of the City does well, where it falls short, and whether it’s a good fit for your reading tastes.
