A review by jaredwsaltz
Montego by Brian McClellan
4.0
Brian McClellan writes really enjoyable novellas. He's really good at providing snapshots of characters and stories that wouldn't fit into the tighter narrative that is required for a novel and the main story, but you wish you knew. This is such a story. Set as a prequel of sorts to his new series, the Glass Immortals, this short story tells how Baby Montego came to be a member of the House and gives us just a bit of his background--just the ticket after his excellent showing and cliffhanger note at the end of the first Glass Immortals volume!
As a novella, there's only so much that can happen. But this did what I like to see in short stories set in the middle of a broader world--expanding our view of what is possible for characters and setting while looking at someone we wish we had more time with in the main series. If you like the Glass Immortals, you'd like this.
(I got this as part of a Kickstarter!)
