What happened here?! I love LaRocca. I consider him a favourite author, but this was just bad. It didn't feel like him at all. He usually has this way with words that places me into a setting immediately and doesn't let me go until I finish. This was the opposite, I didn't want to pick it up because every time I did, it was chock full of bad metaphors and clunky dialogue. I've been waiting for this book for a long time, and nobody is more sad that I hated it than me. But if you also read and dislike this book and haven't tried his other stuff, go grab yourself a copy of his earlier work.
