Sarah Hoyt has generated a living, breathing world where the characters are products of their settings, for good and ill, and she’s done it to a level of detail and accuracy that makes it feel alive.

In some cases, that creates some ugly, in many ways brutal, realities. In others, there is adventure, fancy, and even love.

It is a strange future, a strange universe. There are mysteries and questions, some you feel you’re going to get answered and others you may get lucky to get a vague idea.

This book pulls you in from the opening sequence and sucker-punches you with loss and heartache out the get-go, then wraps you up with story and adventure through the whole thing.

There is a learning curve, though, where you’re trying to find out what relationships mean when every societal marker we have as humans is removed… and in that case, are they really human anymore?

There’s a lot going on in No Man’s Land, a lot to think about, and characters that seem ready to jump off the page.

Sarah’s written a crazy, at times psychadelic, rollercoaster ride of a book. It’s bizarre, interesting, and sometimes bewildering. It’s fun and lighthearted, while still pulling your emotions when you least expect it.

Give it a read, you’ll probably like it.
