Fabrick, the start of a new series by Andrew Post, weaves a tale of good guys and bad, odd-balls and magic weavers, all set in an off-world city perched precariously on a clogged geyser.
Clyde, a rather innocent young man, is thrust out into the world after the untimely death of his friend and finds the city nearly deserted. Never one to get out much, he has no idea that because of a law that states new found wealth must be evenly distributed amongst the people, Geyser's new monarch, the corrupt King Pitka Gorett, decides to make sure no one's in the city when he mines the precious stone. Without knowing the king's role in his friend's untimely demise, Clyde sets out to avenge his death. Along the way, he encounters Flam, a Mouflon with an enormous appetite; Nevele, a weaver with extraordinary powers; and Rohm, a unit of super intelligent mice. They all come together on a quest filled with touching moments, shocking revelations, and narrow escapes as the secrets of Clyde's past are brought to light.
I found the give and take of magic in Fabrick to be very interesting, with Clyde being able to access the consciousness of anybody who confesses to him - the downside being that the confessor gets a spot of bad luck. Nevele, who also has a bit of magic, or 'fabrick' as it's called, can manipulate the string of anything organic - the downside being that any cuts she gets can't heal and must be held together with string.
A great read for anyone who enjoys their good guys good and their bad guys terrible, Fabrick is an enjoyable yarn filled with moral lessons about honesty and leadership and staying true to your friends.
