happyCity Of Lies: A Poison War novel by Sam Hawke
This fat fantasy novel is the first in a saga. It is boring padding and full of whiny bitchingtons.
Best Lines:
“Talafan lost a northern border city sixty years ago because someone inside poisoned the wells.”
“Heroically caring for such a frail little thing as me.”
“Howling Plains.”
“We’re in a siege! Where can anyone desert to?”
“What reason do they have for loyalty?”
“Now you are getting what you deserve. Ruin.”
“You spit on the traditions that formed this country.”
