I love Blake’s writing style. Beautiful atmosphere and descriptions. I didn’t care for the plot. Once I saw where it was going, once you’ve seen or read a few types of these types of plots, it all feels placid. I don’t think I’ll continue this series but I’ll read other works from him.
I think no matter what I would say about this book it would be a spoiler...so choosing my words carefully...it is not at all what I expected. The writing is very simple, Dean Koontz-ish. The sentences are short, almost staccato. This book is written to be read quickly and the reader doesn't need to put a lot of effort in. The main character goes through so much physical abuse and comes back like the energizer bunny...that is that part of the book that just seemed stupid to me. But the creativity of the story line is good, and I really was intrigued to see where it ended up. Of course, where it ended up is a trilogy (surprise). Not sure I'm signing on for the rest of it, but maybe between other reads. It's so clearly written for TV that I was not surprised at the end to see it already coming out as a show this winter....
