The book was strangely compelling, still I did not know whether to give it a 3 or a 4. Yes it was good, but was it great? I think that I will go for the later as it was the world and the plot that made it so. What a plot! There was once a world, yes might just be Earth but it was destroyed. Some e...
Writing: 4.5Story/Plot: 4.5Depth/Detail: 4.5Enjoyment: 5You ever get that time where you find something new, the thing that other people seem to know about but you never did, and when you finally experience it, you have that "how the hell did I live without ever knowing about this?!" moment?

Wow, I loved this, and can't believe I took so long to start it. Is this what they call "gateway" sci-fi? It's written like fantasy, but the hints and foreshadowing tells me that it's going to get much more... well, science fiction. Love it!
A mix of fantasy and science fiction, Lamentation tells the story of the Named Lands, home to the survivors of a great destruction. When the great city of Windwir is suddenly destroyed, and the Named Lands' library and repository of knowledge with it, the leaders of the provinces find themselves on ...
The cover really caught my eye at Comic Con back when it was new, and then a few months later I won a copy of the mass market paperback online. Then the significant other scored her a copy of the hardcover at MacMillan's Free Book Day in 2010, after she had already read and liked the older copy. I'm...
