While this book isn't "wonderful" it has a unique flavor. I would not (as some have) call this a "traditional" fantasy. It has bits of "post apocalypse", a touch of Science fiction, some overt fantasy, a little flavor of steam punk....I'd call it sort of it's own "thing".

I'm not enamored with this book, I don't plan to re-read it, but it is worth a read to try this world out. It's a world of dry dusty want and blood smeared violence...but that's not the whole of it. Building it's own mythos and even a sort of pantheon it tells a gritty story in a world where survival seems to be at a premium.

Not one I like a lot but one I wanted to see to it's end. See what you think.

Milo Mhmmm...Well after reading your review I've decided to pick it up from the library. Definitely not paying any money for it though.


Mike (the Paladin) I generally go the library route if at all possible for "unknown quantity" books.
