A series of somewhat connected stories using Orcs as a stand in for American immigrants in late 1920s North America. I usually shy away from real world with added fantasy elements but I thought I had would give this a try. Overall I think the author did a good job of telling the stories from the Orcs POV. The characters were well developed and the setting pulled me in. I’m not sure I’ll read more in the series anything soon but I may come back to it sometime.
