Thaumaturgist

I meant to review this book almost a week ago but time sort of got away from me so you're getting my not so fresh thoughts.

With a cast of almost entirely profoundly despicable characters Thaumaturgist is a tale of a lot of violence, hubris and damaged people meeting in one tragic melting pot with a marvelously bleak, maybe, ending as the cherry on top. It drops you right in the action and really doesn't stop until the end. There's a touch of the bizzare to it as well, so you really don't have much space to get bored, the book really has a lot going for it but some parts still felt a little rough or rushed to me.

I enjoyed this book well enough for its quick pacing and brutal story but if I'm honest it didn't feel quite like Matt's other work and that frustrated me a little bit, I expected a bit of a mindf*ck and I didn't get it, so I was left possibly nitpicking. There I said it, Matt has set the bar way high with his other work and I find myself wondering if I'm able to review this book fairly on its own merit.
