A review by paperbackmatt
Horizon by Fran Wilde
2.0
This book, unlike Updraft and Cloudbound, has three main protagonists with their own viewpoints that are used to progress the novel's plot. Unfortunately, I've become disconnected with Kirit/Nat and really don't have much connection with Macal (the third viewpoint).
Despite the author's choice to have the three narrators I still got through the novel. About halfway through I had to start skimming some pages as I found the content very hard to get through. I found a few things 'unbelievable' when it came to dealing with the large population of the city. But it's a fantasy novel and I can appreciate the requirement for the novel and thought it was a good choice.
Wilde's use of Kirit to continue and create the elaborate and interesting world of the Bone Universe was definitely the biggest success in the novel. Kirit's exploratory nature, with Wik, is easily what kept me reading. I wanted to learn more, and see more of what Kirit was seeing.
I still look forward to reading more by this author! I will always remain fond of Updraft.
