The Cunning Man de D.J. Butler
It is the Depression and times are tougn at the mine. Hiram Woolley is chosen to take supplies to the miners and finds that more is needed than just a little food. He must confront the monster below and free the Teacum family from its influence. The risk if he is found out to be a cunning man could cost him his life in his church and friends. Well written, good character development, interesting setting.
A fun story.
An unlikely duo gets sent on an errand and it soon gets wild.
Butler doesn't take the fantasy part too seriously, there are thousands of races, none of the typical elf-dwarf variety, so there are a lot of descriptions of how people look.
It doesn't distract from the story though, which is fun and has a really solid mystery beneath it.
The interaction between the protagonists is instant, as between long-time friends and feels right and has a lot of the humor that I personally like.… (més)

cwebb | Jul 10, 2023 | Is there a negative star rating? The dialogue is terrible, the plot is exposition - all talk (poorly written talk) and no show. I got this because it was a fantasy (as in sf-f) set in Utah. The author(s) knowledge of the COJCLDS (LDS) is minimal and probably gathered from a lesser version of wikipedia. At least they don't kill the only Indigenous character. Great cover art for this edition. Avoid this book unless you want to read what not to do.
Pretty good tale of a good Utah man during the Depression time who gets involved with some miners near Helper Utah who are dealing with occult forces. Hiram though happens to know a few things that help because he is a cunning man.
