The Sword-Edged Blonde

I entered into this book fully prepared to enjoy it. Who wouldn't enjoy a fantasy/noir mystery mash-up. It screamed enjoyable read. The problem was Mr. Bledsoe did not push it far enough. It was not dark enough to be a true noir, and there just was not enough fantastical elements to feel like a true fantasy novel.

I'm still going to try the next book in the series, because I see potential here, but this book really should have been called The Sword-Edged Bland.
