The Vagrant
Ratings32
Average rating3.4
The Vagrant is his name. He has no other. Friendless and alone he walks across a desolate, war-torn landscape, carrying nothing but a kit-bag, a legendary sword and a baby. His purpose is to reach the Shining City, last bastion of the human race, and deliver the sword, the only weapon that may make a difference in the ongoing war. But the Shining City is far away and the world is a very dangerous place.

The good: poetic, melancholic, original background, very dark, solid world-building, interesting interaction between the antagonists. Very good start (first 25%), extremely good ending (last 25%).
The bad: somewhat simplistic, somewhat YA, over-ambiguous at times, over-Christian (forgive thy enemy... even when it is a bad idea), sluggish, even boring middle (50%), underdeveloped main character, too easily to defeat archenemies.
Liked the goat, though.
Enjoyed enough to read the sequel, but only moderately looking forward to it.
Initially I really wasnt that impressed with the book as it was very slow starting off. I persevered and things got a LOT better. The writing style of Peter Newman really appealed to me on these books and I am very happy that I continued on with this book!
