Straggletaggle is beautifully written. There is just enough description to paint each scene but not too much as to be overwhelming. Each chapter is from the POV of a different character, which was a very interesting way to relay the story. It allowed for each character to have a voice, to tell their own part of the story as they each had an important role.
The first chapter was a bit tedious as the character is in a different realm of sorts. He is setting up the story but the ethereal nature of his state makes him hard to follow. The next few chapters are introductions of the main players and when these are done, the story begins to fall into place. It was engaging, thrilling, and I was not disappointed.
McDermott never fails to surprise me with his ability. His stories are not for simple entertainment. They are thought provoking and compelling. Straggletaggle is typical McDermott and I love the steampunk Saxonia and alternate Europe that is the location for the story. This is definitely worth the read. ( )
