I really liked this book but I admit that I am sucker for fantasy that is dark and twisted. Not as good as Mieville, or as dark, but along the same lines. A city that never stays the same. A dark corrupted god that stalks its' citizens. In the center one man in search of his lost god stalked by another. It had a few first novel problems but nothing that ruined the story for me. I can't wait to read the next one but I will. I think I will save it for my cruise.

The Revolutions has a slow start, a rousing middle, and a tremendously disappointing end. At its best it's reminiscent of Tim Powers, but never quite rises to that level, and ultimately it feels like two or three different stories awkwardly jammed together.

I am vexed with this book. The pacing was off—the word processor suggests offensive, and honestly, it was—the majority of the book seemed dedicated to establishing that no, you don’t understand, this world is REALLY desolate, this character is ENTIRELY bad and conflicted, this is ENTIRELY irredeemable. I understood that within the first few chapters, certainly, and the middle of the book was an incredible slog. Things did pick up toward the end, as we actually ran into new characters which enabled us most thrillingly to have new situations, information and interactions (imagine!). So when I was actively interested in the plot again, imagine my dismay when the conclusion of the book was an elaborate “watch next week!”
I will not be reading the sequel. Mr. Gilman has already stolen too much of my time. I even place a little of the blame on my younger self of however many years ago who added this to my to-read list.

Another weird Western of a sort, but this one takes the essential tensions of the western genre, mixes them with some of the unpredictability of Mieville, and throws the mess in a broken blender. Fun, cool, tense, and original.
