For me and maybe this was just a mood I was in, I would have enjoyed it more if it had stuck more closely to the main character, Cedar. I liked his character best. Maybe because the loner bounty hunter has always been a favorite character type for me. Add in that he's a werewolf and that is just all the better. I did enjoy several of the other characters though. Especially the witch Mae. I liked how the author dealt with her powers. That was a new twist for me. Cedar Hunt is a werewolf on the run after killing his own brother. He uses his wolfish skills as a tracker and has traveled to an alternative old west America. In the town of Hallelujah are also other outcasts including Rose Small who was abandoned as an infant and seems to have extra perceptions, Mae Lindson, a witch, and her black husband, Jeb as well as the three Madder brothers, drunken miners. When a young boy goes missing, Cedar sets out to find him but needs help from the Madder brothers. At the same time, Jeb is killed by Shard LeFel, an evil railroad tycoon, and Mae sets out to avenge her husband's death. As LeFel's evil plan to gain back his immortality and unleash the Strange on the earth, the various quests of the main characters overlap and lead to the ultimate showdown. I was reading this book in conjunction with a non-fiction, and there is a great deal of set up with the characters. So, I almost gave up, but decided to give it more time on itis own which I am happy for. Once the various characters are introduced, they do come together nicely suggesting that the sequels should be even better. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Welcome to a new America that is built on blood, sweat, and gears... In steam age America, men, monsters, machines, and magic battle for the same scrap of earth and sky. In this chaos, bounty hunter Cedar Hunt rides, cursed by lycanthropy and carrying the guilt of his brother's death. Then he's offered hope that his brother may yet survive. All he has to do is find the Holder: a powerful device created by mad devisers-and now in the hands of an ancient Strange who was banished to walk this Earth. In a land shaped by magic, steam, and iron, where the only things a man can count on are his guns, gears, and grit, Cedar will have to depend on all three if he's going to save his brother and reclaim his soul once and for all.."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
