Now here’s a style of fantasy that I really enjoy. \u00a0You don’t often see dystopian fantasy these days, what with urban and contemporary fantasy being all the rage. \u00a0But when I was growing up, dystopian futures were some of the coolest things. \u00a0The Tripods series, The Girl Who Owned a City and The New Magic Trilogy all captured my heart when I was a wee lad, and I’ve been looking for something to return me to those times for quite a while.<\/p>\n
With Jason Latshaw’s\u00a0The Threat Below<\/em>, I believe I may have found just that. \u00a0This book, the first in the Brathius History series, takes place roughly three centuries in the future. \u00a0Traces of our civilization are still present, but for the most part, things have regressed to a much more primal state. \u00a0A lot of dystopian tropes are in place, such as the language and a sort of caste system, but they’re all expressed in fairly interesting ways.<\/p>\n
