Fantasy Book Review: Battleaxe by Sara Douglass
There was a time in my life where I felt that nothing good would ever come out of Australian entertainment. I was right, and I’ll always be right, as long as I continue to ensure that “Australian entertainment” doesn’t refer to Australian literature. That’s not to say that Australian literature isn’t entertaining, but more to ensure that I am once again right.
Battleaxe by Sara Douglass full book review
Battleaxe is very much part one of three books, and you are left suitable anticipating the next book. Thankfully, for us at least, the entire trilogy (and sextet) is on shelves somewhere. Picking up these books is definitely recommended. The writing is easy to follow, and though not as refined as the likes of Hobb and Barclay, is measurably excusable in her first literary outing and normally not distracting.
Sara Douglass grew up in South Australia. After working as a nurse‚ she completed three degrees at the University of Adelaide‚ including a PhD in early modern English history. She worked as a Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at La Trobe University‚ Bendigo. Sara now lives in Tasmania and is a full-time writer and gardener.
