A review by angus_mckeogh
The Cipher by Kathe Koja

3.0

I’d put this more in line with a cryptic, mysterious thriller rather than a true horror novel, but it was still plenty entertaining. However, it did drag a little and was left with an ending devoid of any type of excitement or surprise, which had the whole thing finishing like a slow release of breath rather than a shocking bang. Pretty good but not amazing.
