thinde 's review for:

The Coward by Stephen Aryan

3.0

---

This novel seemed like more of a writing exercise than a traditional story. The plot was almost linear, with very few digressions. It was an exploration of character... not just fleshing out the details of back-story, but diving into the cast's motivations and fears. Achieving the final objective was greatly overshadowed by the journey itself.

I'm not certain enough momentum was generated to support a series so I'll wait for a few reviews before committing to purchase book two.
