You see, in Causality Wars the unnamed protagonist is the veteran of the humanity – and history – ceased to exist. It’s funny, it’s rabid, it’s sarcastic – but most of all, it’s to the point. After all, one can become too thinly spread, “sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread,” even without One Ring (unless you want to confess, Mr Tchaikovsky?) I needn’t have worried, tough – this novella is short and sharp and scathing, with long pointed teeth and unrelenting snarkiness that brings to mind the best that stand-up comedy has to offer.Īnd this novella is indeed written very much in the style of stand-up comedy, with the protagonist wound up to the extreme, never shutting up, venting his anger and misanthropy in an unceasing torrent of words.
After a couple of disappointing books by Tchaikovsky I approached this novella with certain trepidation.
