The Lies of the Ajungo

Oh, I so enjoyed this one. It's a really nice novella that is part coming-of-age, part puzzle, part fable, and entirely riveting. It's an engaging read from the first line ("There is no water in the City of Lies...") all the way through to the bitter-sweet ending, and every page brings fresh delight. This is definitely one you should have a read of, especially if you want something more than the usual run-of-the-mill fantasy fare, something a little different.
