"...Enge's clever writing really came to the fore as the novel moved on and turned it into something that was truly fantastic (::groan::). It's old school and new school, dark without ever being oppressive and yet somehow managed to keep an almost constant smile on my face. It's one of those novel that leaves you a bit crestfallen that it's over, not because the ending was disappointing (it wasn't!) but because you have to stop living in the world it crafted. The second book The Crooked Way looks like it'll be out in October and I for one can't wait to read more."

Great review, full of spoilers though so be careful.

Now, back to that contest.

I've decided to call it the Lunchpail Review Contest.
To enter:

• Write a review of The Blood of Ambrose somewhere online
• email the review, a link to it, and your contact info to: lunchpail@onyxhawke.com
• Entries must be received by 7pm ET May 21st 2009

It seems like I can't go a single day without someone emailing me a link to something new on

James Enge's The Blood of Ambrose. Today is no different. I got a link to an interview on Tor.com with James.  Enjoy.
