Ack-Ack Macaque by Gareth L. Powell
2.0
It was a well written book, and the one thing I missed majorly in this book was the lack of a significant evil character. There were all goody two shoes kind of people in the book, the monkey, victoria, prince merovech, k8, julie and all, but there were all cut-out cardboard characters.
It could have been a much better book had there been some kind of yin to the yang of all these characters. I felt like I was reading a text book where people keep doing things without any consequences. There were no shades of grey and people just died without any reason. Eg: the captain of the blimp ship. Why did he have to die? I don't understand.
But, that said, the book has been a good learning that if I ever write a book, I am putting some majorly bad/evil guys/girls in it.
Don't think I'll be picking up the other two books in this series.
Sorry, Ack Ack Macaque, you failed to impress me.
