I’ve really enjoyed this story - the character naming conventions were a little confusing at first, but once the tale got going they didn’t matter at all, and I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. I loved the mix of action and storytelling, and the way the ancient myths brought the cultures of the tribes to life. I wasn’t familiar with the author before reading this book, but I’m definitely going to read more from him in the future.

Thanks to Pigeonhole for allowing me to read this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

I read about Pigeonhole, where you get a piece of a book - a Stave- per day for a limited amount of time. The idea is that everyone who is joining is reading at the same speed as you. Face of Glass was my first try with Pigeonhole, and it worked, but still, I don't really like reading from my phone as opposed to my eReader which reads great.

What I liked about Face of Glass, mainly the stories that were interwoven into the main narrative. The leader of the tribe outsmarted the volcano, the Sun and the Moon. The main story was mwah. It wasn't that it wasn't interesting, but it was all far too easy for the main character. He raises from slave to leader in the blink of an eye, and from that conquers all the remaining problems in a likewise quick fashion. There were 8 staves of this book and I felt that there was hardly any problem that couldn't be solved within one of those. Which was a shame.
