The Diabolic
by S.J. Kincaid
When I started reading this novel I found myself unimpressed with the manner in which the character is portrayed. While I understand the time and the circumstance in which the character is written and therefore acting towards, but it was rather off putting. Character interactions felt so forced, relationships between individuals was more of a "we're-best-friends-because-the-author-says" and less "there's-actual-substance-here". I did force myself to continue reading.
But about halfway through the book, I was actually rather impressed. It turned into a rather impressive tale, showing characterization and actual development. I'm not certain if my initial hatred for the writing made the shock of what eventually took place to be possible, but there was several times where I was stunned, so many situations I wasn't anticipating that really ended up making the whole push to finish the novel worth it.
I plan on reading the second in the series and hope that the drag of an introduction isn't something I have to work through again. Ultimately, this novel was worth the read, and very worth holding out for.
