The Half-Made World

Author(s):	Felix Gilman
Publisher:	Tor Books

Creedmoor is a great creation, torn between his love of the power and independence the Gun gives him and his desire to be free of his masters. This tension only comes under more stress and he takes on this mission. Lowry lacks that sort of tension; he is eager to please his Engine masters, but he is such a creepy, obsessed, ambitious little creature that you can't take your eyes off of him. Liv is less successful as a character, mostly because she is much more passive for most of the book, more reacting than acting. Her passivity, though, has its causes, and so this isn't so much a character flaw as a product of plot. It is a welcome change, however, when she breaks free of it.

The Half-Made World does bog down slightly about two-thirds of the way through, but not for long. Beyond that, my only complaint is that I didn't delve as much into various aspects of Gilman's world as I would have liked to: the Engines, the Gun spirits, the Hill People. That I wanted more, despite this being nearly 500 pages, isn't so much criticism than as praise. And is the reason why, as I said earlier, I'm looking eagerly forward to the next book. Highly recommended.
