Book Review: Antiphon

Antiphon (Psalms of Isaak, #3)Antiphon by Ken Scholes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When this series began, there were complaints from some reviewers that the destruction of Windwir seemed too inconsistent. Why did Neb survive, but not others? What was the nature of the destruction that it could raze the city, but leave random individuals untouched? At the time, I attributed this to the randomness of destructive nature – if you’ve ever looked at what did and didn’t survive a tornado as it decimates a community, you know what I mean.

Antiphon takes a stab at starting to give the rationale in the context of the Nine Lands, and yeah, I didn’t see that coming šŸ™‚

Antiphon is a worthy continuation of the Psalms of Isaak, in what can only be described now as a science fiction epic, shrouded in fantasy, with the drapery of steampunk and the trappings of…fantasy. Bah. Post-apocalyptic apocalyptic fiction?

Whatever classification system you use, I call it a good fun read. Probably not the best place to dive into the story, still a great read. Enjoyed it!
