A review by lyrrael
The Builders by Daniel Polansky

2.0

I read this shortly after reading Low Town, which means I came into it with the most favorable opinion of Polansky I could possibly have had (Low Town was fabulous), and still, this really didn't speak to me. The anthropomorphism just didn't do it for me. Granted, I don't really have that Redwall background a lot of you do have, so calling it Redwall for adults just falls flat for me. I found this kind of shallow and superficial, and I just didn't ever manage to hook into it. :/ I was at like 90% for a week before I finally powered through the last ten pages, I just wasn't into it.
