Scott ate and left no crumbs.
The mystery was withheld throughout much of the book but it was never frustrating.
He had me at every stage - even entering the third act when I worried  the plot would be rudderless he didn’t drop the ball.

"Ogļu kalna bibliotēka" ir mans ieguvums Prometeja grāmatu akcijā JR grāmatnīcās. Un ar "ieguvums" es nedomāju vienkārši ieguvumu, bet IEGUVUMU. Ar melnu humoru, šokējošu fantāziju, zarnām, asinīm notrieptu IEGUVUMU.
Tik šausminoši un baisi fantāzijas līkloči it kā "nav manā gaumē". Bet laikam jābeidz izlikties - viss, ko līdz šim esmu lasījusi no šī žanra (pamatā Prometeja izdotās grāmatas) ir tieši manā gaumē. 👍
