Kind of a Review: The Best SFF 8

I'm calling this "kind of" a review because reviewing an anthology, especially one with the word "best" in the name is kind of a tricky thing. Should I talk about the stories themselves? The editorial vision? The cover? And what on earth is my goal here? It's hard, and it's taken me a while to get my head together on it. But yet, but yet...I do have some things I'd like to say.

Wolfhound Century - A Review

Disclosure: I received this book as part of Golancz Publishing's Golancz Geeks program, but I believe I can still be relatively impartial.

One line review: fast, stylish politically minded thriller with fantasy roots and literary dreams.

 Peter Higgins' first novel, Wolfhound Century, is a bit of a puzzler. It might be the most unique book I've read all year; it is certainly one of the more interesting.
