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

2.0

This book has everything I like (A miserable oppressive bureaucracy with accompanying architecture! Weird West! Possessed demon guns!). However, the native inhabitants of said Weird West, which is being colonized by European-but-in-name countries, are inhuman creatures with apparently less-than-human intelligence. They are in tune with the wilds, and have various supernatural powers. It's impossible to ignore.
