Gunlaw by Mark Lawrence
4.0
"Trust'll get you shot quicker than looking for a fight"
Gunlaw is a great wierd west story. It has a unique setting, a great range of characters and it raises more questions than answers in the first part of the novel.
The world is quite intriguing with the large, mysterious pillars protecting inhabitants, very rich and different races and the gunlaw protecting everyone from mysterious sect.
The reader is not indulged by one simple story, but rather a tangle of plots which go back as far as history of our kind. They are all intertiwned and make the reader appreciate the intricacy of the story-building so much more.
Sadly tohugh, I believe that this story is too large and overwhelming for its current form. The environment, the races inhabitng it, the history - it's all so rich that it begs for a proper setting, whilst the pace of Gunlaw was too fast for my taste, to give it all justice.
Very interesting reading nonetheless, I'd love to know what happens next.
