ithinktfiam 's review for:
The Death I Gave Him
by Em X. Liu
Trite. I really wanted to give it an average rating, but I couldn't. Let's start with the most obvious: Elsinore, Horatia, and a dithering idiot with an H name fortunately not Hamlet. Whomever wrote the dramas attributed to Shakespeare would have been longer, more heavy handed and bloodier, but not by too much.
Hayden is the son of a famous scientist who has a lab that magically has secret places Hayden somehow never knew about. The dad is killed. Whodunit? The characters are very standard, even the AI, and the relationships are almost caricatures. Ok, not really almost.
Who did it wasn't really in doubt, the actions simplistic, the characters' inner monologues dull, and I really couldn't care about any of them.
