The Society of Unknowable Objects by Gareth BrownMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thanks to Netgalley and William Morrow for the pre-release copy of The Society of Unknowable Objects by Gareth Brown. Below is my honest review.
If you haven't read The Book of Doors, then you haven't seen just how much fun Gareth Brown's stories are. If you have, then you know going into this one to expect lots of mayhem and kookiness.
This one revolves around a small group of people who have inherited spots in The Society of Unknowable Objects, a team that is aware of seemingly everyday items that hold great powers and is determined to prevent them from being abused by bad folks. They seek them out and bring them home, locking them up to make sure they don't fall into the hands of those who would use them for evil or greed or selfishness.
But there's a small problem with that... someone else is aware of these items, and has made it his goal to stockpile power, and he'll stop at nothing to do it.
All in all, I really enjoyed this one. Great characters, really fun superpowered items, and a special little bit at the end that made me smile.
I look forward to the next book Gareth Brown puts out. After the end of this one, I'm 100% certain he's got more coming.
Definitely recommend, and highly suggest you read The Book of Doors as well. Four stars.
