For fantasy February's first big read, and for my first big read ever I've chosen Laura Anne Gilmans 'Silver on the Road' check it out at goodreads
Set in a western fantasy world where the wild west is the devils territory. Our main character becomes an adult (turns 16) and chooses to sign a contract with the devil to become his sidekick. Only she gets the badass title of "the devils left hand". The devil sends her out on the road with a random guy who offers to show her the ropes. He's getting something from the devil too, I think. So she's got brand new devil powers and is getting set loose on her own on the wild wild west.
Sounds good right? I hope so.
I'm seriously interested in the world building here. The devil controls the wild west, and is picking up teenaged girls to be his sidekick. It's sure to be interesting.
I'm not one for westerns, but I love colonization and civilization building in general (good history, and I'm addicted to sid meyers games) . On the other hand my grandpa was super into westerns, so I'm all for trying a version of them that's a bit more temping to me than the usual ones.
