This was a fantastic weird west story.
And now I really want to play Deadlands...
A wild, ridiculous, fun ride of a book. Take every fantasy-Wild-West character you can think of (and a bunch of other fantasy/sci-fi/steampunk characters for good measure), jam them into one book, and watch them rattle around, bumping up against each other and external threats. The writing isn't brilliant, and plotting isn't brilliant, but the book is just so much fun to read that you don't really care. Highly recommended if you're looking for a light, fast-paced, fun book.
File this under weird western. It's got some nice touches, mixing strange devices, zombie-like citizens, mythology, and mad science together. But the action only really lets loose in the last quarter.
A fantastic read, weird, wonderful, excellent characters and a really great ending. I love the way small interesting bits are revealed slowly.
The characters are believable, so the mash up of Wild West, Paranormal and Gods is totally believable.
(The steampunk is very light, but is there is a creepy way..)
Maude is an amazing character and I hope to see more of her in book 2...
