Villiren: a city of sin that is being torn apart from the inside. Hybrid creatures shamble through shadows and barely human gangs fight turf wars for control of the streets.

Mark Charan Newton continues to infuse the Epic/High-Fantasy genre with New-Weird sensibilities in an excellent sequel to the Nights of Villjamur. And in its weirdness, City of Ruin almost becomes a post-singularity SF novel in the type of Ilium/Olympos by Dan Simmons.



People: An elite military commander who is albino and secretly gay, a rumel (reptilian humanoid) detective hiding out in a new city, on the trail of a killer, a half vampire gang lord having marriage trouble, his wife a cultist (user of ancient technology), a suspicious second in command conferring with a priest who condemns homosexuality, a psychopathic doctor who creates human/animal hybrids, a giant spider, crustacean warriors intent on attacking the city, a princess on the run from the evil

Well, this has a pretty cover. Mark Newton's City of Ruin is the second book of Legends of the Red Sun. I reviewed the first book, Nights of Villjamur, couple of days ago and gave it 3. I hoped that that the second book would have gotten rid of couple of annoying factors, but while it did so it also added a considerable number of new ones. City of Ruin is about the same length as it's prdecessor, 467 pages.The storytelling is better than in the first book and at the beginning I felt that this

The sequel to Nights of Villjamur. The action has moved to another train wreck of a city, where things are just as bad, if not worse. The worldbuilding continues top-notch, and the plot rolls on, horrifying and fascinating. This reminds me a lot of the Shadows of the Apt series, where things are just going terribly all the time, but you're so engrossed in the characters and the world that you just can't stop reading.

Put simply it is a really good read.The world that Mark has created is really unique in its mix of magic and technology (or more correctly technology interpreted as magic), and the races that inhabit it are different from the typical fantasy fare. It is set in a frozen city on the edge of the world facing the threat of attack from a brutal yet mysterious enemy and is populated by gritty characters with their own demons and their own agenda.There are several storylines interwoven, the war, a

4.5 to 5.0 stars. This is a fantastic sequel to the excellent Nights of Villjamur. Mr. Newton's world of Villjamur gets bigger and stranger, the fantasy/science fiction elements get even more interesting (reminding me at times of Jack Vance and China Mieville, which is high praise indeed), and the story explodes exponentially. All of the components that were great in the first book are even better here, including some really well thought out ideas and characters.I can not wait for the next
