I got this book because i totally loved the TV show. I don’t normally watch TV shows before i read the book but i got totally hooked on it because it was just so frigging awesome:

But having had a brief start at reading this book, it just isn’t as good as the TV show. Pick is a guy in the book whereas in the TV show it’s Rosario Dawson and i just can’t get my head around Pick being a man.
So i’ve decided to put this away for quite a few years when i hopefully may have forgotten all about the TV show and then i’ll come back and give it a read. Probably not though. Me thinks it’s just one of those books that will get relegated to “The Boneyard” forever.

More great fantasy story telling from Djèlí. And i’m definitely looking to return to this issue of Fantasy magazine once i’ve got done reading the rest of Djèlí’s books.
