In 'The Gaslight Dogs', Karin Lowachee has built a powerful, convincing vision of a world in the throes of a familiar colonial conflict, has populated it with real people who have very little in common except their enforced servitude and then added an original, credible supernatural twist that gives...
As far as I read I enjoyed reading some short stories, it was either hit or miss for me. And after a few months, I just couldn’t find the energy to continue reading the short stories. It felt more as a chore continuing than for enjoyment. So I quitted reading at 55% into it, not that I didn’t like i...

This is a first novel I have read by Karin Lowachee and it won't be the last. I like her ...

As far as I'm concerned, this is the best book of the series, and one of my all time favorite books ever. My full review is here, on Hot Stuff for Cool People.
