I recently finished a novel called Cleave the Sparrow by Jonathan Katz. It is certainly unique. I gave it four stars on Goodreads. After that, I read Survivor by JF Gonzalez for the second time (first time in '06) - still good. Currently reading How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler - a humorous and fun palette cleanser after Survivor which is not a happy story.
Edit: Does this thread not appear at the top of Freeones Talk after a post? I just posted and should see this thread at the top. Not there.
