kohlsamanda 's review for:
All the Dead Shall Weep
by Charlaine Harris
Another poor installment.
This felt as though it started 100 pages in. We are in the middle of a martial squabble that makes no sense because we have no background, then a telegram comes and the husband is like, “actually I’m leaving and taking my brother who just arrived with your sister but your sister is staying.”
Huh?? And it’s nothing but shenanigans from there with this miraculous courting situation for the sister involving all of these magical people suddenly arriving just for the sake of creating 4 pages of drama.
Then the ending… good God. A fairly main character has died and no one seemed to actually care, the explanation for the husband leaving suddenly with no notice was like “oh, someone offered me a job for a lot of money that’s all” as if it makes ANY SENSE at all that a husband wouldn’t just tell his wife he was taking a job… what the fuck? And THEN, the last sentence is like “have you heard about this crazy man in Germany” and the husband goes “his name is Hitler.”
WHAT??? Hitler is in this universe???? What is happening???
Oh, and the whole damn book wasn’t even 250 pages long. Yet somewhere there was room for multiple “quicker than you can say Jack Robinson” lines.
