The Barrow by Mark Smylie

3.0

It is honestly hard for me to rate this book. Mainly because I am really not sure how I feel about it. There were aspects I didn't like. All the detail kind of took me out of the story a little bit. Don't get me wrong, detail is never a bad thing when it comes to world building, but this book had some massive information overload. Just when I felt my brain would explode due to all the info, violence and battles would ensue. Which I enjoy anyways, but it was a nice change from drowning in details. The violence is really well done.
The sex is....well it's odd and intriguing. Like a train wreck. You want to look away, but the perverseness of it all make it difficult to do.
I'll most likely reread it at some point, but for now, I neither liked it nor did I hate it.
