<h3>Review:</h3>
<p>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.<br /><br />Incredibly detailed, and *understandable* fight scenes? Check.<br /><br />Random words that send you to the dictionary? Check. (Why use verst?)<br /><br />A page turner? Check.<br /><br />Interesting, mysterious characters? Check. (I was half expecting Enoch Root to show up: he does not)<br /><br />I loved it and can't wait for book too.</p>
