MacLeod's prose is fantastic (especially for a sci-fi/fantasy author - sorry genre, but its true), and the world he has invented is riviting and believable. By replacing the industrial revolution's technology with magic and exploring the same social-economic and class issues, MacLeod does what weird fiction should ultimately aspire to - force the reader to re-examine the world they live in, and understand our world through a new and illuminating lens.
