Driftwood
Driftwood | Marie Brennan
4 posts | 5 read | 11 to read
In this first novel set in award-winning author Marie Brennan's incomparable Driftwood fantasy universe, enter a post-apocalyptic realm where the apocalypse has not ended, where fragments of worlds cohere into shifting myths. Yet even as everything fades, Drifters gather to tell conflicting legends of Last, the guide--the one man who seemed immortal, but may have been a fraud. Who is Last? Fame is rare in Driftwood--it's hard to get famous if you don't stick around long enough for people to know you. But many know the guide, Last, a one-blooded survivor who has seen his world end many lifetimes ago. For Driftwood is a strange place of slow apocalypses, where continents eventually crumble into mere neighborhoods, pulled inexorably towards the center in the Crush. Cultures clash, countries fall, and everything eventually disintegrates. Within the Shreds, a rumor goes around that Last has died. Drifters come together to commemorate him. But who really was Last? Lying liar, or heroic savior? A mercenary, a charlatan, a legend? A man, an immortal--perhaps even a god? About Driftwood Driftwood is the invention of bestselling author Marie Brennan. Mirroring the world that many people are currently living in, the Driftwood stories chronicle the struggles of survivors and outcasts to keep their worlds alive until everything changes, diminishes, and is destroyed. Driftwood is the first full-length novel in this world.

As my reading history shows, I am a big fan of world building & although sci-fi is my sandbox of choice, I‘ve been branching out lately. Driftwood is a bit hard to describe - a world made up of dying worlds, drawn together from around the multiverse & eventually torn apart in ‘The Crush.‘ Beautiful & thought-provoking, it got under my skin & made me think about worlds lost & worlds destroyed everyday as time & history march inexorably forward.

Driftwood is a magical compilation of short stories telling the story of Last, a mysterious immortal guide in a place where worlds literally collide. This book was incredibly atmospheric & built loads of imagination. The writing flowed easily & filled me with continuous wonder & curiosity. There are several unique worlds & species presented within this tapestry of a land in such a tantalizing way as to leave me both captivated & wanting more.

Better than the first one, I'm really looking forward to reading the next one. Fun, easy read, and a smart plot to boot.

I've been tearing through legal thrillers lately. This is the second in a series, and I'm really enjoying it. A definite improvement from the first, more confident writing and a more interesting plot. I wish I could stay up reading tonight.
