A review by pnw_afox
The Half-Made World by Felix Gilman

3.0

There are parts of this book that I really like, but finishing the book was a bit of a slog for me. I enjoyed the world building very much and the first part of the book with each lead character on a journey across the half-made world. In the latter half of the book, I felt bogged down by minute details when I really wanted some action to happen. But when faced with reading narrative about the Line or the Gun in the second half of the book, I preferred the Gun. And my, dare I say, boredom with Lowry and the Line caused me to lose most of the tension by the end. I did like Creedmoor very much. And I would not call this steampunk, even though it is making the rounds with that descriptor attached to it.
