Synopsis

For readers of N. K. Jemisin and Rebecca Roanhorse, a fast-paced, anti-colonial action-adventure fantasy that explores twisted power dynamics and the effects of settler colonialism After the murder of T’Rayles’s adopted son, the infamous warrior and daughter of the Indigenous Ibinnas returns to the colonized city of Seventhblade, ready to tear the streets asunder in search of her son’s killer. T’Rayles must lean into the dangerous power of her inherited sword and ally herself with questionable forces, including the Broken Fangs, an alliance her mother founded, now fallen into greed and corruption, and the immortal Elraiche, a powerful and manipulative deity exiled from a faraway land. Navigating the power shifts in a colonized city on the edge and contending with a deadly new power emerging from within, T’Rayles must risk everything to find the answers, and the justice, she so desperately desires. Loaded with complex characters and intricately staged action, and set in a fragmented, fascinating world of dangerous magics and cryptic gods, Seventhblade is a masterful new fantasy adventure from a bright, emerging Indigenous voice.

Goodreads review by Richard on June 17, 2025

Okay, so I just finished SEVENTHBLADE, and wow — this book seriously had me hooked.

SEVENTHBLADE surprised me. I went into it expecting nonstop action and sword fights (and don’t get me wrong, it has those), but what really stuck with me was how it handled the idea of teamwork — not in a flashy or perfect way, but in a slow, kind of painful, realistic way. At the beginning, the char......more

Goodreads review by Kate on June 19, 2025

Seventhblade completely threw me — in a good way. I picked it up expecting gritty sword fights and broody gods, and instead found myself hit by wave after wave of emotion. T’Rayles is not easy to love at first — she's sharp, angry, guarded — but watching her slowly unravel, piece by piece, made me c......more

Goodreads review by free on June 16, 2025

So here’s the deal: I started reading SEVENTHBLADE because the cover looked cool, and I thought, “Swords? Magic? Probably someone brooding in a cloak? I’m in.” What I didn’t expect was to end up reading 300+ pages about a group of people who could barely stand each other… and somehow become one of t......more

Goodreads review by Nerwen on June 03, 2025

Unfortunately this one did not really hit the mark for me. I had trouble following the narrative and there were some POV shifts between Elraiche's view and T'Rayles that I missed from time to time that were even more confusing. I usually don't mind a bit of confusion and not knowing what was going o......more
