Review:
This book was both funny and a good story. I cannot recommend the audio version strongly enough as it included both a wonderful reading and music. Buehlman did a simply wonderful job of reading his own book and I truly cannot wait for the next. The world building is pretty good, but Buehlman had a hard time describing things in the new world often resorting to phrases like, "you would gag the first several times you smelled it, and gag again thereafter" or "you cannot imagine what it is like to see one for the first time, nor the second either." These semi-descriptions took the reader out of the book--it didn't feel like the protagonist at a loss for words, it felt like the author. I'm not sure what the answer is, but, then again, I'm not an author! I did like the way that plot lines intersected and the use of tattoos as a part of magic was pretty unique.
