I like the dark, atmospheric writing and the pacing helped keep me interested in Gorel's quest for the mirror that will take him back home.
Gorel of Goliris is a guy's guy, anti-hero, gunslinger, addict, touched by the Black Kiss and everyone, I mean, everyone wants to join his quest/sleep with him. It's been done before but this story does is well even though it doesn't stand out in terms of its characters. The writing is good and plot twists are interesting so most people will probably like this story.
I'm curious to see if the author can write more interesting women so I'll eventually read Osama....more
