Fiefdom

Written by Dan Abnett and Nik Vincent

Narrated by Charlie Sanderson

"Gene the Hackman, top dog, him done the great Walk Around. Not for him the darkness, not for him the Time of Ice that we know today." Evelyn War is a Believer. She knows that in the Old Time, long before the Time of Ice, the Masters fought a war with Them, great chitinous beasts that stalked the world and rended and killed. She knows that the Masters set fierce, doglike Aux like her to watch over their great sleep and to keep Them off their Lawn. She knows that the stories are not just lessons in the ways of war. Them were real. But in the frozen ruins of Berlin, Them have not been seen for many years. Now the Aux fight among themselves and say all that was just stories. They scorn Evelyn and mock her warnings. But the ice is melting, and the whistling calls of Them can be heard in the tunnels of the U-Bahn once more....

Reviews for Fiefdom

[areadingmachine · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This book was provided to me by Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest reivew.

I tried to get into this I really did but I kept hitting walls. I loved the idea of the world and thought I would enjoy it but didn't find the language relatable and it kept forcing me out of the story. I cannot help but think this book would have benefitted greatly from me having a clear understanding of the world and had I had the information from the graphic novel I might have enjoyed it more...but no that would still leave the language. I am giving it two stars because I think fans of the already established series will enjoy it.
