None so Blind was quite a surprise.It was not what I expected and am pleased to say this was a really good book..

Synopsis:
The year is 499. The place is Gea – a largely ethnic, linguistic and cultural unity, though not a political one. Its history has been one of intermittent warfare between its fifteen independent states and with surrounding countries. However, for the last quarter of a century the inexorable rise of Troia has welded the states, now provinces, into a formidable Empire...

Gea is largely unified under the Troian Empire, but the present Emperor is inept and ineffective. Dissatisfaction and disloyalty taint the political air and an aging swordmaster, Diomedes, finds himself having to unravel a plot against the Emperor, while struggling with his feelings for his friend’s wife, whose life is in peril.

I found this books premise interesting but the book itself was hard to get into and while I finished it I would not read it again

Thanks to NetGalley for my ARC! None So Blind was a great and fun read. I the author is engaging and the character relationships, while a bit predictable, worked very well. What didn't work for me was the world setting. It's not quite Ancient Greece but borrows very heavily from it. It's also not quite a new fantasy setting. It distracted me quite a bit, trying to find parallels and remember names and such from my own knowledge, while the book tried to make it all new and distinct. Overall it was a clean and easy read, and I grew to like many characters.

I wont go into detail about the story as i dont want to spoil the book, i see so many reviews that give 80% of the story away and it spoils it for the reader in my opinion. I loved this book, I enjoyed the story and i felt connected with the characters. One of my favourite books this year in fact. The story was a real page Turner and infact my other half kept needing to tell me to put it down and go to sleep, I was gripped. Pleaseantly surprised and brilliantly written, a must read for sure.
