Scar Night
Scar Night | Alan Campbell
2 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
Suspended by chains over a seemingly bottomless abyss, the ancient city of Deepgate is home to a young angel, an assassin, and a psychotic murderer hungry for revenge—or redemption. But soon a shocking betrayal will unite all three in a desperate quest.... The last of his line, Dill is descended from legendary Battle-archons who once defended the city. Forbidden to fly and untrained even to wield the great sword inherited from his forebears, he has become a figurehead for a dying tradition. Now he lives a sheltered existence in one of Deepgate’s crumbling temple spires under the watchful eye of the Presbyter who rules the city. Spine assassin Rachel Hael has better things to do than oversee the Presbyter’s angel. Each dark moon she must fight for her life among the city chains, hunting an immortal predator with a taste for blood. But when a traitor brings enemies to Deepgate’s doorstep, Dill and Rachel are forced into an uneasy alliance with the city’s oldest and most dangerous foe. They must journey down into the uncharted chasm to save their sprawling metropolis—and themselves—from annihilation. Once they descend however, they learn that what lies below is far more sinister than what they’ve been taught to expect. From the Hardcover edition.

A stack of some of my #fantasy books. It‘s a genre I feel like I have been neglecting lately and plan to devote some serious time to soon. #noteworthynovember

JamesChatham Soulless is a delight! 7y
Jas16 @JamesChatham I completely agree! 7y
AlaMich I loved Scar Night, though it could be uneven at times. But then I was so disappointed in Iron Angel, the sequel. 7y
Jas16 @AlaMich It is still on my TBR. I bought it from a library sale completely on impulse 7y
AlaMich @Jas16 It has such a cool premise. It's been quite a while, though, so I don't remember a whole lot, just that I really enjoyed it. 7y

Admitingly, the city in this novel isn't really #Floating but more hanging, but l'll go with it nonetheless 😋

I was completely charmed by the idea of the city hanging by chains on a bottomeless abiss and angels inabiting it when l first heard about it. But then l've read so many lukewarm reviews about it, that l kind of give up on it.

Did any of you read it? Worth it?

diovival Fist time hearing of this one. 7y
JazzFeathers @diovival When e it came out - 15 or 16 years ago - there was quite a buzz about it. But l haven't heard much about the sequel, though l know there is at least another novel set in the same world, so l suppose there is actual disappointment to be expected... 7y
