2.5 Stars: The world is fascinating and stand-out. The characters were good, but not in a moral sense. I did love the different POVs from The Gun, The Line and Noob. The plot sounds good but it and the characters seem to be bogged down with extra weight and repetition. It took a while to get into an...
This book was mechanically adequate, but I just found myself completely uninterested in finding out how it was going to turn out. Perhaps unfortunately, I finished it because I only realised how little I cared about what happened next about two thirds of the way through.
3.5 starsI really liked this one. It's got elements of Manifest Destiny; The Wild, Wild West; The Dark Tower; and China Mieville's Railsea all mashed up into a nice dark adventure.The story weaves together several arcs, but they all center on what might be contained in a former general's head. On th...
Incredibly imaginative. I definitely felt as if I was in the hands of someone who knew what they were doing and where they were going and I was happy to be along for the ride. A great re-imagining of the wild west, mixing in mythology, and making a world that felt like a combination of the U.S. west...
I really liked the setting (a fantasy Western), the premise, the Gun and the Line. Creedmoor was a solid, interesting character. But Liv, the female protagonist, despite some sporadic episodes, read like your typical damsel in distress. The aboriginal people in the story were also a bit off-putting,...
The opposite of post-apocalyptic--antegenetic, maybe--and, like the old Rahab story from Jewish legend, the setting is not yet truly created--but nevertheless the narrative proceeds. I'm not sure if it's a brilliant conceit about the writing of speculative fiction to leave the setting rough along i...
Order and Chaos. The Line and the Gun. The battle between the two elemental forces of order and chaos has long been a favourite for fantasy literature and it has provided fallow fertile ground for many tales of human society as it gets caught in the middle of these two titanic ways of viewing the un...
I received this book through goodreads giveways.Honestly, this book is brilliant. Recommended for fans of alternate history, dystopia, and just plain science fiction. A war is raging in the old American West between Agents of the Gun, people who allowed spirits of demons to ride them, and The Line, ...
My first experience with a GoodReads’ giveaway was not a very happy one. The book was subpar but it was free so my complaints couldn’t be too excessive. I’m happy to say that my second giveaway win was a considerably different experience. The Half-Made World gets a solid 3 stars – it falls between 3...
Was a bit put out when I realized that the amount of pages left would not be able to contain a resolution to the decades long war between Gun and Line, but I guess it makes sense that a half-made world would have a half-made ending.
