I am a big fan of both Horton and Peirce but this was bloody awful. could not even get past the the first six chapters. I felt like Horton phoned this one in and Pierce’s Irish accent is about as bad as it gets. Very disappointed as I love both of these guys work generally. Save your money on this and go for the Barrowed World Series instead. Or World Made by Hand. I’ve never taken the time to review one of these before but this was such a let down, I had to say somthing. Mr. Horton needs to get back to the well thought out styal of writing that put him on the map. And Peirce needs to never attempt an Irish accent again.
