As even a quick glance at my blog will probably show, I’m interested mostly in mysteries and video games. But I love fantasy as well! (Perhaps not so surprising, since it’s the genre of many video games, especially RPGs.) The reason I don’t read much fantasy, however, is because, while I like fantasy, I like mystery more. So whenever I would buy a fantasy book, I ask myself… why not buy a mystery instead? And that's what I end up doing.
But HOEAB was gifted to me by a friend, and so bypassed that entire ordeal. Plus it features a murder, so it’s not entirely off-brand?
