Beautiful prose, evocative story, clever book that threw me back on my haunches and made me want to re-read it immediately.

Fun, busy, and it was 3 years ago when I read it and I can't remember anything about the story, which is great because that means it's time to read it again!

Like All Is Fair, this was a busy novel that I was sorry to finish, but (very minor) criticisms would be that some of the characters and events in both these books could have used a bit more development. Can't fault it on length, plenty to read, and the story is lots of fun, crammed with action.

Brilliant introduction into the fucked up mind of Chuck Wendig.

Fun story, great details, and some really nice writing.

Absolutely superb. Gutting, terrifying, and hopeful.

It's absolutely beautiful, with delicate, precise writing that perfectly encapsulates a sense of place, of culture, of magic.

Thoughtful collection of tales that stay with you for months afterwards. Beautifully written, sensitively conceived, a series of set ups for injustices, love, and pain with a backdrop of the Black cultural experience in a white-oriented world.

A nail-biting introduction to South African magic and a nice bit of terror into the bargain. No reading this one on a dark stormy night unless you're bigger and hairier than the sorcerer!

Mosaic novel: a set of vignettes that link together beautifully to create one of the possible scenarios for the grinding end of the world as we know it.

Just. So. Weird.

Fun, light read, crazy and innovative, plenty of intrigue and weirdness. Takes a sudden left turn towards the end of the first chapter and never looks back.

Noir-with-a-vengeance, this story drags you round downtown NYC, giving you tonnes of action, gratuitous violence and guns, in return for a 2-hour read. Tightly written, well described, and leaves you breathless.

As fab as everyone everyone said it was.

A light read that needed a bit more depth to be more satisfying.

Love Yamada, love the stories, and the books inspired me to read the first Japanese novel, the Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.
