[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 8653614, member: 7028579"] I know very little about this book so for the benefit of no one I’ll take a stab at what the book is about based just on the cover. It’s “exotic” marketplace. So..urban, more intrigue, social, role playing heavy. Working class, street level intrigue, not high politics. Seems post colonial Central America, mid-east, with a dash of west South Asia. I want to say more magical realism than high fantasy but I know it’s probably not at all even magical realism adjacent because my wife has more than once pointed out I have no idea what it really is, but if it Didn’t already have another meaning, this would be magical realism. Curious about the neon lights. Seems like, it’s in the middle of a stadium located on a Yes album cover landscape. Whether or not one likes the cover seems a weird thing…I mean, it’s not awesome to me, but then neither is half the stuff in The Met…so…not really a standard I go on often. It’s not the outdoorsy sort of Celtic adjacent muddy Druid thing I’m working on right now so not a buy since avoiding distractions. But if I wanted the above, i’d buy it! [/QUOTE]
