The Lees of Laughter's End by Steven Erikson

dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Marketed as a dark horror comedy, that is exactly what this provides. A lot of Erikson's strengths are present and I enjoyed the novella as a whole but it failed to grab my like Erikson's other works. I was hoping to get more info about the three main characters these novellas follow and that wasn't the case.

Still, the horror aspects had me interested and the dark humor seemingly gets better and better. Onto the next one!
