Review: Low Town by Daniel Polansky
I love all things noir, so I was interested when a fantasy riff came out on it. I’m not generally a fantasy reader however, though I absolutely adored the Dragonlance series. I appreciated that Low Town’s gritty, cold streets resonate you despite the nuances of its genre. It’s a murder mystery wrapped in a cloak of magic, warfare, and swords.
Polansky can definitely write. Every page is an opportunity to enjoy his witty, dark prose. This is an enjoyable debut novel, though the plot pacing is a bit uneven. I am definitely excited to read follow-on efforts. (I hear there’s a series in the works.)
