charles_dunham 's review for:

The Scar by Marina Dyachenko
4.0

Despite a few elements that date the book (originally published in '97), this is a really engaging read for those who don't mind lots of suffering in their novels. Though it borrows some fantasy tropes, the structure of the story is very original for a fantasy. I still haven't explained why you should read it.... In any case, an excellent book. Would have been a 5-star if not for the 90's elements that just aren't fun anymore.
