6/9/2023 0 Comments The etched city kj bishopGwynn has a lot more dimension than I remember. Bishop makes the desert of the Copper Country interesting, giving it aspects of Australian and Middle Eastern desert culture while still making it feel like a Western.Ģ. My only complaint was that it could have been much longer.ġ. The style is a mannerly kind of new weird.Īmazon recommended this one, based on my ratings for The Dark Tower series and Perdido Street Station. While Ashamoil isn't as detailed as New Crobuzon or Ambergris, it's still great. Bishop knows how to build tension as well as create a realized fantasy city. The Etched City is definitely atmosphere over action but when the action comes, it's hard and fast. Raule starts treating the poor of Ashamoil, occasionally delivering crocodilian babies, while Gwynn gets a job as a guard for a slave trader and has a heated affair with an artist. Together, they flee the wasteland of the Copper Country and make their way to the city of Ashamoil. Etched City is the story of gunslinger Gwynn and doctor Raule.
