A review by braydin
Lamentation by Ken Scholes

4.0

Closer to 3.5, I downgraded to 3 because I was expecting a bit more owing to the buzz about the book. I did enjoy the story and I look forward to the rest of the series and to other works from Scholes.

This story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world which has been reduced to a medieval level of technology, though there are functioning remnants of more advanced technologies in use. The story follows the actions of a number of characters following annihilation of the city acting as the repository pre-apocalyptic knowledge.

The story was engaging and I went through the book rather quickly. There were some promising twists at the end, that have my looking forward to the continuation of this series.
