The Vagrant by Peter Newman

3.0

Wanted to love it...aspired to love it...encouraged myself to love it....but in the end, I just liked it. This is such a cool book in theory. The setting is right up my alley - a post-apocalyptic land where demons roam looking to feed on the innocent, a cool back-history, amazing secondary characters etc. What I ultimately couldn't get past was the fact that the main character had zero lines of dialogue. At first it was kind of unique and original and then when I continued to read it became a bit annoying, which then became distracted indifference. I just didn't care anymore. Which is quite a shame because this story could have been so much more. Maybe the second book will grab me more than this one did but I'm not rushing to crack that one open in the near future. Some people may enjoy this type of book, but it is not my style unfortunately. Three stars simply for the incredible world-building and of course - THE DEMONS.
