The Vagrant by Peter Newman
5.0
What a book. What a fantastic book.
Newman delivers the perfect balance of mystery and information - the world the Vagrant walks is twisted and broken, but we're never exactly sure how and why, and we don't need to be. Just enough is given to sate our curiosity, while leaving questions burning for later. What are the Seven? What exactly is the Breach? What was the world like before? We get answers - but not all of them.
Having a silent protagonist is hard to pull off - having a silent protagonist who doesn't even speak in the flashbacks is even harder, but Newman does it and does it very well indeed.
I'm so glad this turned out to be a trilogy!
