Blackwater by Conn Iggulden
5.0
First off I have to say that this type of story is not my usual flavour of reading material... just about everything this story presents itself as is way outside my normal hunting grounds when it comes to enjoyable reading.
I NEVER pick up short stories (let alone read them), they're never long enough or have enough information in them for me to really get into the world. Just as I'm getting into the story/characters it ends and that annoys me; leaving me feeling frustrated and angry that there's nothing more.
Also there are no ghouls, ghosts, things that go bump in the night or anything else supernatural which just doesn't do for me normally.
So despite all that all I can say about this book is WOW!! OMG!!! WOW!!!!
(If I could add flashing neon lights to that I would)
This story was everything most (read all) short stories aren't and I just don't have the words to truly express how good this little story was!
