He swung his gleaming blade and (remembers not to valorize grim deeds) um... admired it as it caught a ray of sunlight

Kill All Wizards (The Barbaric Ledgers #1) by Jedediah Berry

TL;DR: This felt like Conan had an acid trip in a wizard city. Source: NetGalley, thank you so much! Plot: Gotch is trying to avenge his brother in a city run by wizards, the weird follows Characters: Gotch was our best character, but I really liked the variety we were introduced to Setting: This city had to have been dreamed up on some sort of substance. It felt weird and trippy but also very……

SWORDS, SORCERY, AND A SPOT OF TEA

Kill All Wizards is a blood-soaked romp through high society—picture Conan the Barbarian caught up in a comedy of manners, and you're almost prepared for this unmissable new series.

We could think of nothing but the barbarian. He had come here, surely, to murder or marry someone, to exact revenge, or to say or do something very scandalous. We could hardly wait to see which it was. We hoped it would be all of them.

The barbarian traveled far to consult the wizards of the empire. Instead of lending their aid, they ensorcelled him, exploited his strength, and stole his sword. They should not have done that.

Now the barbarian plans to kill every wizard who wronged him, even if that means blending in with their vile society: dressing in finery, taking tea in exclusive clubs, and reserving the best box at the theater.

Oh, he hates it all with the fiery passion of his savage heart—but not as much as he hates these wizards.

There was a great tameness upon the land. Cats licked their paws, the trains ran on time, our bellies and our calendars were full.

In those days the barbarian was back and forth over the stony marches, sampling cigars at Scales & Co one day, plundering the tomb of some ancient demon-prince the next. Long before his taking of House Derby this was, Gotchimus the only name we knew him by. A delver, a drifter, an outlander in every land, he gazed over teacups as though from a dream of the old dream-haunted world, but he kept his pocket watch wound even in the meanest pits of the far wilds.

Most agreed that he was not handsome, but beautiful in the way that certain rare and deadly beasts are beautiful. His nose was misshapen, his cheekbones perhaps too strong, his jaw set with a sardonic crookedness that might have been mistaken for cruelty or caprice in someone of a more dissembling nature. But the brightness of his eyes, which were the gray of storm clouds at dawn, coupled with the stout openness of his bearing, made one feel not judged but somehow in on it with him, even if one struggled to say precisely what it was.

His manner of dress could not be faulted. We saw him most often in a worsted suit of oxblood and cream, perfectly tailored to his extraordinary dimensions. Later he adopted the sable eyepatch that both accentuated his strangeness and leant him an air of grave refinement.

From the publisher’s official excerpt, so I can’t be accused of leaking stuff from the ARC. This is a joy to read.
