The flaming skull of judgement turns its hollow gaze on: Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland.

Look, I didn't expect to be here today either. I thought the skull would be quiescent until I got around to reading Before They Are Hanged. But when the flaming skull of judgement intrudes upon your consciousness claiming it has found grimdark in an unexpected place, I admit I get curious. The Basilisk called Genre can strike from anywhere, I guess. So is Five Broken Blades grimdark? Well… I have trouble calling it that, but I wouldn't begrudge anyone else labeling Five Broken Blades as grimdark. So come down to the lab and let's put it on the slab, feat. a tangent about assassins. Some light spoilers.

Five Broken Blades stuck out to me from before the first page. Someone had nicely thought to put a content warning before the book proper, let's take a look:

Five Broken Blades is a dark adventure fantasy full of deadly liars, gray morals, and kingdom-destroying secrets. As such, the story includes elements that might not be suitable for all readers. Violence, blood, death (including the death of parents, children, incarcerated people, and animals), poisoning, substance abuse, alcohol, sexual activity, animal abuse, gender-based violence, sex work, suicidal ideation, and indentured servitude are depicted. Rape, assault, and graphic genocide are described.

(Sidenote: love a good content warning. I love grimdark, I don't think people should be exposed to content that makes them uncomfortable without a fair warning. You can be an edgelord and still be kind.)

So that's quite a list of ingredients, and with that content warning in mind I read Five Broken Blades with an eye towards assessing its grimdark potential.

It is useful for my purposes to contrast Five Broken Blades against The Blade Itself. That works nicely because they both have 'Blade' in the name. Talking about The Blade Itself, I declared that it didn't hit grimdark for me because there's no hint of the kind of overwhelming darkness that characterizes grimdark. The Blade Itself certainly features a kind of ambient suckage to the world, but what grimdark requires is ambient misery. And what Five Broken Blades does better than The Blade Itself is provide that aura of misery.

Five Broken Blades does two things differently. The first is that the characters feel noticeably more crushed by the system than The Blade Itself. With the exception of Farro the characters in Blade (singular) are pretty on top of things. And even Farro has the patronage of a powerful wizard from the chapter she's introduced. Logen's on the run from Bethod but he's still a Named Man with a reputation feared in the North, Jezel's a privileged nobleman, West has a decently prestigious military job, and Glokta is still the one doing the torturing for all that he has to worry about ending up on the other side of the table. Compare to 5Blades, even Mikail the spymaster is actively trying to work against the government of Yusan. And his background ain't that privileged to begin with. Each of the main characters in 5Blades feel like they are actively in the process of losing something which is why they need to go in on this scheme to kill the king.

Which is the other thing 5Blades brings to the table: we know what the plot is. The world may not be as bleak as I like, but this quest to kill a king who may also be a god sure feels doomed. The story takes these miserable people, none of whom have clean consciences, and puts them in the pressure cooker of this long shot to maybe make things better, which is at least the bare bones of a grimdark plot.

In terms of morally grey characters, I do confess that I rolled my eyes a bit at Sora being an assassin coerced into the job, a character type I am still tired of after finishing the Throne of Glass books (do not ask me if the Throne of Glass books are grimdark). It's an eating-cake-and-having-it-too thing, I think. Like, you want this character to feel badass and dangerous so you make them an assassin, but you don't want them to come off as too bad a person (the specter of Gygax looms) so you say it's okay, they were forced into it. So oh look, they've got all these cool assassin skills, but they feel real bad about all the people they were forced to kill who were mostly nobility anyway so maybe they shouldn't feel too bad. I like it when an author fully commits to making a character a Bastard, I guess is what I'm getting at.

Anyway, Sora's character is redeemed by her plotting to maybe betray the party later in the book, she's fully capable of being a Bastard on her own recognizance. And it's not like 5Blades is afraid to make characters Bastards. Euyn straight-up chose to hunt people for sport, which holy shit is not a thing I've seen in a protagonist's backstory before. Sure he's remorseful about it but it's a thing he chose to do on his own, and that's a hell of a weight to be carrying around.

So: Five Broken Blades is borderline grimdark for me. Importantly, I think in who its characters are and how it sets up its overarching plot it gets closer to full-blown grimdark than The Blade Itself (if you want to stone me for that opinion you'll have to catch me first).

Tune in next time when I weigh in on whether, I dunno, the Gormenghast novels are grimdark I guess.

Dust Armor Nanotechnology Blade Coating

One of the biggest complaints with ceiling fans is having to clean dusty fan blades and the unsightliness of having extremely dusty blades in an otherwise clean home. After years of research, Hunger has formulated a blade coating that helps to repel dust build up through a breakthrough nanotechnology.

Fan blades with Hunter’s Dust Armor blade coating have a layer of nano particles that repel small moisture molecules. Dust particles gather to water molecules and when the density of the dust/water particles is low enough, light air currents blow the combined particle away from the surface.

What Size Fan Is Best for Your Room?

Small rooms up to 10 by 10 feet 30- to 48-inch fans Large rooms up to 20 by 20 feet 50- to 54-inch fans Great rooms over 20 by 20 feet 56-inch fans or larger

Specifications

Airflow 3,790 cubic feet per minute Electricity use 64 watts (excludes lights) Airflow efficiency 59 cubic feet per minute per watt

*For comparison, 36- to 48-inch ceiling fans have airflow efficiencies ranging from approximately 71 to 86 cubic feet per minute per watt at high speed.

About Hunter Fan

The Hunter Fan company traces its origins back to 1886, when John Hunter and son James C. Hunter created the first water-driven ceiling fan in upstate New York.

Products that are as tough on the inside as they are beautiful on the outside.
