These Prisoning Hills by Christopher Rowe
2.0
I really don't want to spend any more time with this book than I already have. The book deserves 5 stars just on the cover, but the story and writing doesn't back up the art work.
It was difficult to tell most of the time whether it was near future, far future, etc. Ideas were introduced late, like they were used as a Deus ex style device. I realize it was a short story, but there is zero context to the background of the book. I feel like the story would have made an amazing 500-600 page novel, not a 100 page novella. The story needs fleshed out badly.
