Charlie Fletcher, Stoneheart
Hyperion (2006) ISBN: 142310175-8
Score: 1.5

Start of the Stoneheart trilogy, a juvenile urban fantasy set in London. The hero, railing against the injustices of the world, breaks a carving off a building, which accidentally restarts the war between statues and gargoyles. Too soon to judge the consistency of the worldbuilding and premise (it's amazing how many of the good guys know all about "making amends to the Stone" but only admit to knowing after forcing the hero jumps through hoops to learn for himself), and the ending was a bit anti-climatic, even for a first book of a series.

Next Book: Jasper Fforde, First Among Sequels
