I read a few chapters at the bookstore and found it to be an interesting read. The book is beautiful and well made, the story is interesting and flows along at a good pace. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Really well developed POV characters each containing their own secrets and hidden agendas *by A***) on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024* This book was very much an impulse buy for me. I heard that it was a lot like Six of Crows, involving a group of misfits who have to work together to complete a heist. I also saw that Rebecca Roanhorse gave it 5 stars. Lastly, I have been in the mood for swords; like any sword at all, and the title is pretty self-explanatory.I did really enjoy this. It is very much a popcorn read; it’s a light read with a style that involves short chapters and a pace that makes it easy to keep thinking “oh only one more chapter”. The book is told in first person point-of-view from six different perspectives, all with very different personalities and voices. First person POV is always my favorite narrative style as it really allows you to be inside a person’s head. It can be hard to pull off when there are multiple characters, though, as it involves the author adapting their writing style to each unique character. All the characters think and speak differently, so it was really well done here. If you listen to the audiobook, they do have different narrators for each person, so that helps for sure, but the writing really provided a solid base for all the narrators to go off of when they have to act as their character.One slight warning I would give is that the characters aren’t all working together from the start. Most start off in a pair with another POV character, and then about halfway through is when they start meeting the other pairs. I thought it would involve misfits being thrown in together at the start, but the slightly slower way to introduce them did give the author more time to set each character up and better develop each of their motivations for being part of a plot to assassinate an immortal king. All of the characters have secrets to hide as well, which is always fun to try and sleuth out as the reader.I docked a star off because while it does build to a good ending, it didn’t quite hit the pay off I was hoping for. Still a fun, easy breezy read. I would recommend it if you want a fast-paced book centering around a band of misfits, assassins, and thieves working together to accomplish a very difficult task. Fair warning that it can be dark at times. Romance is a fairly heavy sub-plot of the book as well, but it loops into each character’s motivations. It creates tension between the relationship and what secrets these morally-grey characters actually have. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding! Combines the best of fantasy and crime capers. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2024* I picked this book up on a whim and I’m so happy I did. It’s like Oceans Eleven meets the Dirty Dozen in a fantasy setting. Plea Ty of twists and deceptions that keep you guessing until the last chapter. Excited for the sequel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/577208790-five-broken-blades-deluxe-limited-edition-a-slow-burn-assassin](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/577208790-five-broken-blades-deluxe-limited-edition-a-slow-burn-assassin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
