This review is from: Scar (Paperback)

Wow. I can't believe The Scar hasn't been reviewed yet. Out of 5 China books (PSS, IC, C&C and Kraken), it comes in as a strong second behind Perdido. In fact, the two are almost neck and neck. Perdido probably just gets a sentimental first because it was my first China. The Scar flows beautifully and effortlessly, has great visuals and character development. Reels you in and won't let you go. And yes, the monsters (and the unique realms within which they dwell) really *are* cool. If you haven't read any China, go get yourself to the nearest bookstore and purchase Perdido & The Scar. Amazing Fantasy. Truly deserving of all the accolades.
