Review of 'The Thorn of Dentonhill' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

There's no way I was going to give this book four stars ... but maybe I still should have. Essentially a Daredevil story set in a fantasy city, and the fantasy feels like a flimsy cloth covering very generic superhero tropes. There's vengeance, there's street crime, there's a drug kingpin, there are superhuman powers and secret identites.

But you know what? I'm a superhero fan, and the Thorn of Dentonhill absolutely worked for me. I fully intend to read all the, um, eleven? sequels if they can keep up this level of intensive action. They'd better.

Hell, I'll give it four stars anyway. It's comfort reading, but I think I need it.
