Abstract Reader reviewed Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett
Lots of payoff
5 stars
There's a great cast of characters which grows on you. Later books keep calling back to the events of previous books and the included short stories.

Abstract Reader reviewed The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (The Goblin Emperor, #1)
A vividly imagined fantasy of court intrigue and dark magics in a steampunk-inflected world, by …
Surprisingly comforting
5 stars
It starts out reading like a palace intrigue story, with many scary and daunting things looming in the future of the protagonist, once he starts making friend and allies, things turn around for him. The last ~100 pages are just pleasant pay off for all the characters introduced and bonds built, which was very pleasant to read. All of it still feels earned as well.

Strange but fun
4 stars
The narration style takes a little bit to get used to and things are very confusing at first. However, it becomes great quite quickly. There are a lot of short timeskips in the book which mean you only every read some of the most exciting bits of this story.
