That being said, of course, all of the characters are very diverse and interesting, and Bray is very good about presenting their back stories in bits and pieces that keep the narrative flowing without pausing for pages of info dump. Essentially, that third person narrative keeps the narrative cohesive, but makes it a little less dynamic. The third person narrative also doesn't really aid the development of the characters as much as I'd hope- the chapters of an African American numbers runner seem like they should feel more different from those of a psychic flapper. That being said, the book hops from scene to scene and character to character so fast that is feels as though certain aspects weren't developed fully enough (although the sequel coming out soon will probably resolve some of the loose ends). It's a fairly long book, but the pace is quick enough that it's a very fast read, and the plot is clean and straightforward enough to follow. The book really does bring the 1920's to life, New York City is a character by itself, and everything is well researched to the point that it's almost possible to believe that all this supernatural stuff was happening in NYC in 1926. But that’s not the worst of it, because Charlie sees, in his room, a tall dark figure who insists that Charlie shouldn’t be able to see him. He’s right to worry, in a sense, because his wife dies immediately after childbirth. A constant worrier, he’s convinced that his wife, about to give birth to their first child, is too good for him. Only this isn’t the Discworld, this is modern-day San Francisco.Ĭharlie Asher is a beta male. Christopher Moore is, like Pratchett, a comic writer, and here he’s on territory that would have some familiarity to Pratchett readers: the personification of Death. The Pratchett comparison is not coincidental. A Dirty Job was released here in August, and he has other books being released in November and in December. Christopher Moore, it turns out, is a writer, and while he doesn’t have nearly as many volumes to his credit as does Terry Pratchett, I’d say it’s only a matter of time. (Review first published on the Antipodean Specfic in Focus website, January 2008)Ī month ago, I wasn’t even aware I shared the planet with anyone named Christopher Moore (although I suppose that, if pressed, I would have regarded it as a strong statistical likelihood that an entity of that name existed). So what these guys did in creating those success stories is not your roadmap.

Older cover & title edition of ASIN B086XCN7B7 These stories at first feel less like high fantasy and more like, as Laini Taylor says, “a secret, discovered history of real but forgotten lands.” There are resemblances to the landscape and culture of Ancient Greece, “if a civilization like theirs had developed another thousand years without the rise of monotheism,” as Megan Whalen Turner wrote in her note at the end of The Thief. Thus begins a twisting adventure, told in Gen’s wry, wily, cranky voice.Īnd that is only the beginning! There are six books, a grand series told over twenty years in our time, but only a few years (I think) in the world of the book. But the king’s scholarly advisor, the magus, has plans to use Gen as a tool for the king’s advantage. An audacious theft lands him chained in the king’s prison. Gen, who is hardly more than a boy, brags he can steal anything. I managed to forget most of what I read on The Queen of Attolia’s cover, and as soon as I started The Thief, I was captivated. And it turned out she was right in every way. In fact, try to forget what you read on that cover.” I had a fun conversation with her. A young woman, not much older than a young adult herself, said, “That’s a great series! But don’t start with that book. I was a volunteer shelving in the Young Adult area of our local library, my favorite section, and was looking over The Queen of Attolia the cover and title intrigued me.
