Wilson’s books for a while now – Dean provides them for me to read, and I’m more than happy to accept, because at this point, I’ve come to trust that I’m going to get a great read out of him – engaging and exciting action, solid character work, and great storytelling. I will probably read the rest of the series (there are two more after this one), though I will be cycling through the rest of my TBR pile first.I’ve been reviewing Dean F. It’s a fun dystopian sci-fi western romp through the desert. Overall rating: Overall, I’d rate this book a solid 3.75 out of 5 stars. I didn’t notice a sing typo throughout the entire text. There were certain phrases that I stumbled over, but they didn’t occur often enough to lessen my enjoyment of the story.Įditing: This book was flawlessly edited. Writing: While not a literary masterpiece by any means, it certainly got the job done. The author did a good job of making us wonder what it’s for. My favorite aspect of the story was Nox’s mask.

I enjoyed the glimpses into Nox’s past-life as an inventor and toy maker, because they really made his character sympathetic. The story was well-paced and the characters were interesting and well-motivated. Story: Coilhunter follows the usual western tropes-the protagonist’s family is murdered, and they’re hell-bent on getting their revenge, dusty-desert landscape, etc.

When he forms an unexpected alliance with “Handcart Sally,” a woman with a bounty on her head who claims to know information on the murderer, he just might get the revenge he’s been waiting for. Terribly scarred while trying to save his family from a fire, he now wears a mask that’s become a symbol of dread for the outlaws of The Wild North, the lawless post-apocalyptic desert-scape Nox calls home.Įver since the deaths of his wife and children, he’s been searching for their killer.

Summary: Nathaniel Nox is a disfigured former toy-maker-turned-bounty hunter. Weird West pickin’s are slim, anyway, so I can’t be too picky. I decided to give it a whirl since it’s in Kindle Unlimited. I don’t read sci-fi often (I’m more a contemporary fantasy girl, myself), but the premise intrigued me. Available Formats: Kindle ebook, paperbackįirst glance assessment: I first noticed Coilhunter while doing genre research for Jeremiah Jones Cowboy Sorcerer.
