“It would be so easy to mess this kind of book up, but Jasper Fforde plays it up well. the word "genius" comes to mind, but considering the fate of geniuses in his books, I'll hold the word in check.”

“Elves and Oni and little girls in giant combat boots, oh my!

In case you could not tell by the giant holographic catfish on the cover, this is shiny book. It's full of light and fun, but war as well. Through out is our fight for Earth's survival stretched and taken to the extreme. Swords and magic versus guns and technology with the main character grabbing both and standing them on their head for her own purposes.”

“It's not often history books are fun--especially when they're about war. Leo finds the little things that keep people fighting, the things that push people on, and the many lost souls along the way.

Read. It.

Now.
