I'm not sure this book ever really decided what it wanted to be. Part Three Musketeers with heavy fantasy twist, major part War of the Worlds, and part romance with fantasy twist. I was going to award 3 stars, until the jarringly deus-ex-machina ending. What?
So many throwaways that made me laugh. I'm guessing McMullen has worked with a few ict pms in his time?
Very similar to H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds", but with a lot more fun, sarcasm, and lots + lots + lots of sex. The story sorta starts and stops but overall I thought it was a fun book.
This book suffers from an identity crisis. It doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy, a fantasy, science fiction, or an adventure. Too bad, because the premise sounded like it would be fun and interesting. I put it down. I have no desire to slog through books that lose my interest - just because I think I have to finish them.
Don't understand the need to switch to first person narrative but whatever. . .Three stars because I did enjoy it.Only three stars because I had no idea what the main plot was. This book didn't seem to know itself. Was it the war? Not really since we only got brief descriptions of the main battle. And for all the death and destruction I never got the feeling that it was a big deal. It also didn't seem to be completely about the romance either since parts of that were also missing. It also wasn't...
I really hope McMullen stops trying his hand at the Terry Pratchett-esque humor. It ruined what would have been an interesting homage to The War of the Worlds. I can't emphasize how abysmal and prevalent the humor was in this book.
