The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley

3.0

The main criticism I have seen of this book is it’s slow pace. I did not mind the slow start so much, but felt that the middle got bogged down in too many extraneous plot lines which trailed off . I also found the ending revelation somewhat obscure, there was almost too much unsaid for my mind to make sense of it.
That being said, the characterisation and atmosphere is superb. The character’s motivations and beliefs were diligently crafted.
The main reason I’ve bumped this down from 4 to 3 starts is that I lost steam with the book, and so the end lost its power.
