The Necromancer's House by Christopher Buehlman

2.0

The style of writing smacks of an author trying really hard to turn a phrase clever. While there are echoes of Clive Barkeresque imagery, and a really intriguing story lurking underneath its over-stylized word play... It felt like I had to work hard to get through this short book, so couldn't enjoy the story and characters. I especially disliked the first half, where making a cohesive and concise sentence was clearly not a priority.

An extra star for the story and the fact that a main character was gay, and that fact wasn't essential to the story. It just was... Which is nice.
