Book Review: Farlander by Col Buchanan

[othercat]

Farlander is the second book with a recommendation by Glen Cook that I have not liked this year. (The other book was Awakenings by Edward Lazellari.) I have decided that even though I really like Cook’s writing, that his taste in books and mine are very, very different. This book is a hard book to classify as either fantasy or science fiction and it has a steampunk feel without the Victorian trappings. (I would almost have preferred the usual Victorian trappings compared to what I did get.)

The plot follows an order of assassins called the Roshun, who have a very peculiar business plan.
