Currently Reading: The Burning Man by Mark Chadbourn
After stalling on Martin Andrew’s The Necropolis Railway, I know it’s steam powered but good god get on with it!, I picked up the next title on my review copy pile and I’m engaged and reading every moment I can fit in.
What has me so excited? It’s the next title by Mark Chadbourn and his wonderfully inventive and playful fantasy series. The Burning Man takes out heroes away from where they’ve been before and puts them face to face with other Great Dominions (the Celts aren’t the only ones with gods after all). At this point their mission seems insurmountable but if their is one message from this series it’s that there is always light even in the darkest places.
Unfortunately I never got a copy of this book or Jack of Ravens from the publisher like I was hoping, so I’ll just have to save up my pennies and order them
If you can start with the Age of Misrule. It’s the foundation for the entire series and shows how our heroes were forged and why they are the way they are and do the things they do. You can get the first three books for less than $20 on Amazon.com.
