It's that time again: another Recommended Reading entry.

It has been a little while since we last had one of these, having plowed through a slew of books that didn't really catch me.

That's one of the downsides of doing this, for every readable book you uncover you have to submit yourself to several others that aren't up to scratch.

This book most certainly was up to scratch, and features an extremely interesting protagonist.

Nathan Fierro's The Demon of Cliffside is a first-person perspective 'Alchemypunk' tale told through the eyes of a protagonist with no name. A creature that is hundreds of years old and predates the humanity that has been built above them.

It's a fascinating read, and one that has been carefully crafted to give you a completely alien and detached feel as you experience the tale.
