This book is pretty fun. It does a great job at capturing the Sixth World and it was just a straight up fun read.

What makes this book so fun to read is our nameless narrator. Whom kind of reminds me of Marcus from Borderlands. A very strange use of metaphors which really helps flavor the book. It also uses a very interesting jumping around narrative style to make it like you're piecing together the story as you read. Something akin to a Catch-22 or Pulp Fiction, where the story isn't told in a linear fashion. I honestly liked it, but it might not be for everyone.

The story itself follows a team of runners as they make it through the gauntlet known as the south bridge to Lagos Island. They have to deal with tribal disputes, the undead, magical organizations, and organ leggers while attempting to deliver 3 mysterious packages. That basically captures everything that makes Shadowrun such a great setting. It's not about one thing, but instead about many moving parts that make the world feel real. And the narrative does a great job at making all these conflicting goals come together.

With that said. there are things that could have made it better. A character dies pretty anticlimacticly. I realize not everyone needs a heroic death, but it feels out of place. The narrator also looses his voice towards the end, as if maybe the writer was getting tired of writing this book and just wanted to get this book over with.

Anyway, it's still a pretty fun read and does a good job at capturing the feel of Shadowrun.
