dee2799d 's review for:
Caballeros Desalmados
by Ginn Hale
Re-read this and realised I missed some details the first time around. What I first thought was a nice, competent novel is still nice and competent, but also had more depth than I remember. Short, sweet, sometimes horrifying. Not a word out of place.
I've also just read the short story that describes Belimai and Harper's lives five years after the novel, I see now where the 'The night hung in tatters. Gas streetlamps chewed at the darkness.' descriptions is coming from. Belimai is an artist, and it informs his descriptions. Whereas the parts of the novel told over Harper's shoulder (but not in his first person) weren't quite as specific or lyrical about the weather or his surroundings. I loved that detail.
I loved the characters, loved the conversations, loved the setting. This is still great.
