A review by r_loretta
The Velocity of Revolution by Marshall Ryan Maresca
4.0
I had to let this book sink in a little before writing this review. Ever since I read A Murder of Mages, I have been a fan of Maresca. When I found out he was writing a book outside of the Maradiane sequence, I was excited. Even more so when I read the synopsis of it on Maresca's blog. The thing that stuck most with me is "motorcycle Jesus gang." I'm not sure why but that is how my friend and I proceeded to reference this book whenever it was brought up between us.
This book didn't disappoint. The depth of world building in it is phenomenal. This books was so unique and I love that about this book. I loved the culture and the relationships between the characters. I did find the caste system and the names that the castes and people were referred to at times confusing but that always happens to me with intricately detailed books.
Without spoiling anything, I didn't give this book 5 stars because I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending. It was kinda genius in a way but left me wanting more.
