Alfaniel Aldavan’s Reviews > My Name Is Michael Bishop > Status Update

This world would make a very enjoyable universe of a RPG. Healing side, with its natural remedies, temples, plants. Magical side, with its unpredictability and wearing effects on sages, starwood spell platforms, and bottled or boxed ingredients. Apothecaries serving both.
Humans. Golems, steampunk machinery. Souls.

Interesting secondary character. At this point, the author still creates a shade of mystery around it, very sketchy, non-obvious. Slightly repetitive.

And it starts... "My name is Michael Bishop".
The "aah" that follows the scene when we're witness to his memory loss. MC starts telling stories, to remind himself who he is, reason for the title.

Beautiful writing. It flows just right. Sometimes almost musical in its round up.
Only now we find out - actually we probably will soon - the reason for the title. I fear that the blurb is actually a bigger spoiler than I would have liked. The realization is very very nicely woven in the story, save that I expected it already because of the blurb.

We're told early how bad is the bad guy, early enough to care for Michael to succeed. Very interesting support character.
Colorful and entertaining paragraphs of the golem's struggles with its rough golem nature.
