Gunlaw by Mark Lawrence
4.0
And it's over, and I'm one of the first few to finish it! :D This was one hell of a (train) ride.
Guns. Frigging Guns.
I haven't had much experience with westerns but have read enough fantasy to mark this down as an amazing work. I really liked this book. For one, the characters were amazing, but that is to be expected from Mark. The chapters dedicated to detailed backgrounds were really interesting. I especially loved Jenna's complex character and her relationship with Mikeos and what it could have been (You HAD to do that thing, didn't you?). Also, the action sequences were amazingly written and perfectly paced.
I only picked up this book after finishing the Broken Empire trilogy earlier this summer. The two were starkingly similar in many aspects and yet too different. I will admit that I liked the trilogy better, but maybe that's because I read it in continuity and could make more sense out of it. I do wish that Mark releases this as a single book. I kind of liked the second half better than the first. What seemed incoherent at the beginning started fitting together like a charm as the story progressed. I would really love a second book, if Mark decides to write one (Please do, please!). There are just so many things unanswered!
As ConradVan would say it, Loving the twists and turns. Thanks for sharing. (Readers on Wattpad will know :P)
