crunchybirdbones 's review for:
The Quiet Room
by Terry Miles
Somehow this sequel made me wish I hadn't even read the first book...
If you told me that this was a fanfiction of the previous Terry Miles novel Rabbits I would have believed you without question.
It's hard to find anything praise-worthy about this book, and it's far too easy to find issues with it. I was honestly so irritated by the end of the book that it made me want to take back my having read the first book. Together, they really feel like a huge waste of my time.
It shocks and annoys me that this book ends with a giant cliffhanger assuming you're going to want to read anything else by the author in the future. I couldn't care less about Emily's sister reappearing. Godddd, I should wait to review this until I don't have a headache and am less grumpy about it but I just finished the book and I'm mad!!!
Unlike book 1, where I actually sensed some kind of payoff for all of the twists and adventuring that the book brought, I really felt like my time had been wasted. Many of the characters brought into the story serve little to no purpose. The conclusion of the book doesn't leave me feeling satisfied or even like I really understand why anything had to happen how it did.
If you enjoyed book one, my recommendation is to stop there and not go any furhter.

It felt like nothing in this book even mattered. What role did Scarpio really play here? Or Mayday? Why were we supposed to feel anything for the relationship between Emily and Pepper? It made even less sense than the relationship we saw Emily in with K.It shocks and annoys me that this book ends with a giant cliffhanger assuming you're going to want to read anything else by the author in the future.
