Ok so I upgraded this one to 5 stars after reading it the second time. This book is totally iconic and if anything of Dresden makes it to the movies it should be this. The climax itself is awesome but its also the build up that sets the stage so beautifully not to take away from the introduction of Mouse. Onwards

How many time can you write a back to the origins story and still make it interesting. Batman: Earth One answers this question with aplomb. There is no limit to re-writes:-). This novel takes us back to Batman's origins, gives us a new take on Alfred and suddenly pops up the Penguin as the villain. The art is beautiful (especially on a tablet) and the writing delightful. Its Batman as we know it but have never read before. That in itself deserves 5 stars. Awesome!

A rather timid ending to what I thought was a fairly well written world with an interesting protagonist. Some surprises, some good additions but in the end no proper closure. Makes me feel like the author might want to come back to this series on a later date?

The first book of this year and we start with a bang. Or should we say we end with a bang? For we have come to the end of the journey for Sal and the Cacophony and its been a really wild ride. From the high of Seven Blades in Black it became apparent that it would take a lot to keep the quality going. While mostly holds true, Three axes to Fall has some real high points which make this a rather fitting end to the trilogy. We get to know Sal much better and the addition of a narrator adds an excellent POV to the telling. Sam Sykes delivers in spades and I can heartily recommend this series for people who love a larger than life protagonist and a whole lot of violence. In the end though SCAR is not a place that is on my list to visit!

Thoroughly enjoyable read and topics right up my alley and hence the 5 stars rating. Things are explained fairly easily and enough hints to do your own research in case you want more details. Also clear call outs on where we still don't have answers. Specifically I want to know why the moon appears so close.
