Attempted and failed to read. It's supposed to be the travel-book of someone going through The Sphere, a very strange world/universe/something or other. I enjoy the graphic novel (Lady Sabre and the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether) set there, but this just doesn't catch me. The language is peculiar - antique-ish, without being quite right for any period; the stories, what I picked up skimming through the book, make little sense. Insufficiently interesting, sorry. I got this as a Kickstarter bonus, along with the graphic novel, and...well, it's worth what I paid for it, to me. ( )
