Tapping the Source

Kem Nunn is fantastic at setting tone. Tapping the Source is dark and brooding and full of violence in the murky waters. A twisted Beach Boys fantasy land. Like Ike, you don't know if you want in or out.

That said, this is clearly a first novel. I found the pacing off and that some plot turns did not make sense. I was looking forward to this after The Dogs of Winter - which is an all-timer - but it fell a little short.
