Revenant Gun by Yoon Ha Lee

[unspeakablehorror]

I finished Revenant Gun.  Kujen is my favorite.  Probably due to my fondness of mad scientist villains who want to be immortal.  Also because I enjoy characters who have a sense of style.  And because I love villains who are clearly enjoying themselves while being unaplogetically ruthless.  

I think this trilogy does a good job with its reveals.  There are usually multiple plot-related reveals in this book and in the larger series, and I appreciate the way they're constructed to both illuminate details about the worldbuilding and function as satisfying twists and turns.

This series is quite consistent in its style and quality, so I think whatever a person's opinion of the first two novels are will likely transfer over to this one as well.  That was certainly my experience.  I enjoyed the fantastical math/science/engineering aspect and how that was employed throughout the series.

I feel the second half of the novel is where it really picks up for me--the first half is a bit slow for my taste.  I'm a very impatient person so this is something that makes a significant difference to me.  Though I've still read much slower novels.

I would have liked for a certain plot thread to have received more attention.  I'll have to see if maybe there's a satisfactory conclusion for that one in Glass Cannon.

Anyway, those are a few of my thoughts about this novel.
