Steel Crow Saga
by Paul Krueger
A deeply complicated and emotional story with lots of action, cool magic, post-war politics, intrigue and complex motivations and feelings resulting from invasions, colonization, xenophobia, racism, murder and other brutalities.
This book grabbed me from its opening, then kept me rapt with its characters and their banter, the extremely cool shades, and the many difficult and painful conversations between people who all had good reasons to hate one another but were forced to deal with their assumptions and entrenched views.
The author had me reading all the way to the last chapter, which had me tearing up. This was an excellent novel, and while it wrapped up, there were enough things left open so that if Paul Krueger ever returns to this early 20th century alt-Asia, I’ll be there.
