Review: Sci-fi but not so technical it is impossible to read

Mistworld is the first book in an exciting fantasy series by Simon R. Green. I am usually not one for sci-fi, but this book was both interesting and had some fantasy-like elements that held my attention.The characters were well developed and the plot was easy to follow. One of the things that made me like this book even through my usual aversion to all things sci-fi, was the creature battles. The hob hounds were awesome and the result of that first battle set the stage for much more excitement to follow.Personally, Topaz was my favourite character. Her determination to avenge a wrong that had been committed against her was evident from the beginning and I enjoyed following her character throughout.This book has a bit of technical jargon here and there when it comes to explaining the jobs of the planet's residents and how they function, but it wasn't overabundant in the story and didn't bore me as a lot of sci-fi has in the past.I thought this was a great book and would recommend it to anyone who likes the genre, or those who like books with lots of action and intrigue.This review is based on a digital ARC from the publisher and provided by Netgalley.
