Hollow World by Michael J. Sullivan
5.0
What a wonderful book. I was one of the Kickstarters for this book, even though I hadn't ever read any of MJS's stuff! He was (is) an active contributor on /r/fantasy on Reddit, so I wanted to help out. I am amazingly happy I did.
First, the negative. Once the story gets rolling, and the main antagonist is introduced, my biggest complaint is that the story is predictable. However, is being predictable really a bad thing? I think all of my time reading George RR Martin and others has left me *expecting* unpredictable.
The fact is, whether a novel is predictable or not doesn't matter as much as the story being good. And Hollow World is a damn good story. Michael, if you're reading this, just know there are those of us who would LOVE to see more in this universe.
