Grand Dark is perfect for anyone looking for a decadent, post-world war I, creepy fantasy with the right balance of adventure and war fatigue

I could feel Kardrey’s fingerprints from Sand Slim in the short, direct sentences and touches of world building, but he mastered a new tone, several, as the Grand Dark has different excerpts from in world news reports, books and plays.

The Grand Dark surprised me, but didn’t disappoint. The plot was a little slow to get going, yet I didn’t mind, Kadrey built a dark, fascinating city worth exploring.
