You should totally read this book. It is like watching a full season of Buffy. It has all the right ingredients: charming and conflicted misfit characters, snarky humor, high fashion, valor, bravery and truly loyal friendship. It's long but it reads very quickly.
I'd previously started this and given up rapidly. Martin Millar is an acquired taste and while I'd loved many of his previous books I didn't think I could cope with 500+ pages of his clipped, punchy, punky style.
I was wrong. Once I got into it I was completely engrossed. The short chapters encouraging me to read “just one more” before putting it down. Everyone is selfish and vacuous, petty poets, many violent and/or with drug/alcohol/sex addictions because, well, it's Millar's world and what else would you expect?
By the end I was cheering for everyone in Kalix's circle and I've already ordered the second one!
Definitely not to everyone's taste but if you wants escapism and to laugh out loud at the sheer stupidity of the characters and situations - give it a go.
