A review by jeffkevlar
Engraved on the Eye by Saladin Ahmed
4.0
I really liked this collection of short stories. Honestly, the only reason I didn't give it a five out of five is that the short story is not my favourite. I will always prefer full novels and the development of characters, settings and themes that can be achieved there.
That being said, each one of the stories in this collection was fun to read. Doctor Diablo Goes Through the Motions was a funny and fun look at the inner workings of an evil association of supervillians. I loved the Arabic/ 1001 nights feel of Where Virtue Lives and Judgement of Sword and Souls. And the mystical western was great.
This is the first I've read of Saladin Ahmed but it wont be my last.
