No Hobby Love and Echo City

Really have no hobby progress at all this week really. Felt a bit lost with my three projects at the moment I think mainly because I'm just tired! Came down with a cold today and feel awful. On a more cheerful note my youngest daughter Leila is 3 tomorrow wow that has come round extremely fast. I've been busy blowing up balloons and building various toys this evening. I'm off tomorrow which is good and can spend some fun time with my little girl.

Have read a fair bit over the weekend and have just finished reading 'Echo City' by Tim Lebbon this was a random pick up at the library a few weeks back It sounded and the cover caught my interest in passing as I quite like Post Apocalyptic settings.

From the cover
Surrounded by a vast, poisonous desert, Echo City is built upon the graveyard of its own past. Most inhabitants believe that their city and its subterranean Echoes are the whole of the world, but there are a few dissenters. Peer Nadawa is a political exile, forced to live with criminals in a ruinous slum. Gorham, once her lover, leads a ragtag band of rebels against the ruling theocracy. Nophel, a servant of that theocracy, dreams of revenge from his perch atop the city’s tallest spire. And beneath the city, a woman called Nadielle conducts macabre experiments in genetic manipulation using a science indistinguishable from sorcery. They believe there is something more beyond the endless desert . . . but what?
It is only when a stranger arrives from out of the wastes that things begin to change. Frail and amnesiac, he holds the key to a new beginning for Echo City—or perhaps to its end, for he is not the only new arrival. From the depths beneath Echo City, something ancient and deadly is rising. Now Peer, Gorham, Nophel, and Nadielle must test the limits of love and loyalty, courage and compassion, as they struggle to save a city collapsing under the weight of its own history.

Its set in a fantasy world (sorry no guns or vehicles) which has been destroyed many many years before by some sort of world war which pretty much destroyed the world they inhabit. Its centred around a single city called Echo City. There are various sects within the city all with different beliefs and views some more dominant than others. Now it sounds kind of familiar and perhaps has been done many times before BUT  I can honestly say It blew me away. I really wish this was part of a series it was a great read and once I started I couldn't put it down until I'd finished. I don't want to go into to much detail as it will spoil the plot. But I recommend you check it out if your interested.
