The Mongoliad: Book One (Foreworld, #1)

Cover for The Mongoliad: Book One (Foreworld, #1)

Review:

This, al­though writ­ten in col­lab­o­ra­tion by half a dozen au­thors, feels like a Neal Stephen­son book, and I will treat it as such. That means im­pos­si­bly high stan­dard­s, and it does not sur­pass all its test­s, but is pret­ty close in many.

In­cred­i­bly de­tailed, and *un­der­stand­able* fight sce­nes? Check.

Ran­dom words that send you to the dic­tio­nary? Check. (Why use ver­st?)

A page turn­er? Check.

In­ter­est­ing, mys­te­ri­ous char­ac­ter­s? Check. (I was half ex­pect­ing Enoch Root to show up: he does not)

I loved it and can't wait for book too.

Dogfooding new theme: Readable

I just switched this blog to a new Niko­la the­me, that I am call­ing Read­able. Be­cause it tries to be read­able. It's loose­ly based on the looks of a WP theme called doc, but it shares no code.

If you are see­ing this through a plan­et, this is how it look­s:

Tato's first penalties

Tato had to­day his first day at foot­ball school. The oth­er day he was cry­ing be­cause all his friends went there and he did­n't, so, what the heck, he goes now too.

He does­n't have too much of a clue yet, but he tries hard ;-)
