![]() City Of Stairs worked, primarily, for one big reason: The world Bennett had created was just awesome. ![]() The first book, City Of Stairs, came out last year and was a dense readfull of worldbuilding and mythology, long, explain-y passages and expositionbut also had assassinations, an airship battle, and a couple of great characters (Shara, a spy, and Sigrud, her giant one-eyed bodyguard) who kept things jumping even through those sections where Bennett went deep into the bloody, weird and imaginary history of his make-believe world. This is the world of Robert Jackson Bennett's Divine Cities series. The playing field, once mountainous with privilege and lack, is now level. Kill the gods and the world is re-set, sans divinity, sans magic. And free the world from their dominion, their miracles, their slavery and oppression. And while putting them down isn't by any means easy, it is possible. Literally just roll right up on him and shoot him in the face. ![]() ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
