review:

Wolfhound Century by Peter Higgins reminded me of the work of China Mieville. I say that because I felt like I got thrown into a strange descriptive world without the clues to decipher what was going on. And yet, I couldn't stop reading. When it was all done, I enjoyed it, but it felt like the beginning of a series, and I still have questions.



It all takes place in a Soviet-like place that has been in a constant war with strange beings called angels. There is also a terrorist bombing as the book starts. There are secret police and an oppressive government. It all makes for an interesting setting for an SF novel.



It's a great read for people who like dense, descriptive writing, and short chapters push the story along at a brisk pace. The characters are interesting, and I'm interested to read more by Mr. Higgins.



I was provided a review copy by Orbit and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for giving me a chance to review this interesting debut novel.
