A review by wulvaine
Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregillis
4.0
Ian Tregillis has created a fascinating and dark vision of an alternate World War II. Taut pacing, great characters, and a fascinating plot keeps you turning pages, and he holds the distinction of being one of very few authors who can write passages that ring truly frightening a la Lovecraft.
I have no real complaints about the book; the only thing holding it back from five stars is the fact that there's not a great deal of resolution. This is the first book in a trilogy, and it's clearly laying groundwork for The Coldest War and Necessary Evil. That's not bad, of course; it just makes this first volume feel a little incomplete on its own.
However, I'll definitely be trying to get my hands on The Coldest War as soon as possible.
