A review by bunnieslikediamonds
After Silence by Jonathan Carroll

3.0

Carroll's books are always somewhat dark and disturbing, but also whimsical enough to take some of that edge off. This one is devoid of magical realism, and so seems even darker. He draws you effortlessly into his world, and even though he warns you that there is no happy ending, it still stings. The ending felt abrupt as the transformation of one of the characters was not really explored, just presented as the new normal. It was mostly a four star read for me, but that ending was a bit too rough.
