I found these tales engrossing and full of so much potential for deeper insight into the world, language, history. I was disappointed there wasn’t a map, or any references for what is clearly a developed world. I look forward to more from the fallen empire of Jhandpara and the last free city of Khaim.

The Tangled Lands
In this new fantasy by Paolo Bacigalupi and Tobias Buckell, a world is being strangled by bramble. The strange branches are created by an overuse of magic, and in the empire before, they had abused the power to their destruction. This book is a collection of four stories from the city of Khaim, The Blue City, the last true city at the edge of the bramble growth.
