Blackstone and Brenwen:
A Swansong for a Sibling
By Andrew D. Mellusco
Elliot Blackstone is back this time
he journeys to the faun realm representing a Human accused of “Witch-Trickery.”
While he is off doing this his apprentice the Centaur Epona Brenwan is on a
mission to help Aladdin, a young spy, unite the five realms of Persia. All the
while we also have Fury and her boyfriend, Sandman Vincent, traveling to the
depths of Mermadom in their capacity as insurance lawyers to help the King be
rid of the twenty seven sunken ships and all of their treasure. From three
kingdoms come three amazing intertwining stories.
First off I loved Mermadom, not only
because I am a sucker for anything mermaid but because Andrew D. Mellusco
creates a absolutely unique under sea world where tourists from land can come
and visit as they see fit. How you may ask? Bubbles, Oh yes Bubbles and the way
the author plays on these it seems plausible, well if you take into account it
is still a fantasy novel. I laughed myself silly with the antics that Fury
would pull on Vincent as he was terrified his bubble would burst. And as always
we have Elliot who is sure to make you smile if not laugh out loud. The best
way I can describe this novel is The Lincoln Lawyer meets The Brothers Grimm.
It is fun and unique it the best possible way.
As a lot of you may know I listen to most of my books whether it is
through audio books or just text to speech, I did that in this instance and my
husband whom I didn’t even know was listening as well kept commenting on the
book as he too enjoyed some of the absurd situations that people have found
themselves in, such as a scene involving three wishes and sausage. I definitely
recommend picking up this series or even just this book it is well worth the read!
