rickyschneider 's review for:
The Bright Lands
by John Fram
What. A ride. This was the definition of a page-turner. I was hooked the whole time. The only criticisms I have are some of the ways the characters talked about others or how it portrayed people (especially physically disabled people being portrayed as scary or evil). I think this was meant to be expressions of the characters' personal perspectives but it still bothered me a bit. There was diversity in the characters but the lack of representation of any other queer perspective other than the closeted M/M was unfortunate. The ending felt a little rushed as well. Overall, it was a fun and entertaining read. Fram handled multiple perspectives seamlessly and the pacing was perfect up until the last pages. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a fast-paced, fun thriller with a supernatural slant.
