Celestial Seepage by Brian Fatah Steel
The first part of this book is REALLY INTERESTING, creepy, intriguing. This story then takes a completely unexpected and bizarre turn. I almost wish it had gone into another direction, and kept with the beginning theme, rather than dive off into a horror/sci-fi type of story. I can’t stress enough how much I enjoyed the beginning of the book. The end result however, was barely decipherable.
Richard and Elizabeth’s relationship could use some fine tuning. It’s a small portion of the story, but since the story and relationships in the story are already confusing, this at least, should be clarified. The relationship is described as one way, and then further into the book, a completely different way.
Portions of the story seem thrown together, and not thought out. Harper and Riley are sometimes mistaken for each other in the story. The characterization needs work, and the characters could be a little more developed.
With a bizarre story like this, I’m willing to be open-minded, but it should be explained better. The monsters/aliens in the story (as well as the three assassins) are so bizarre that I can’t seem to grasp their capabilities or motives. The assassins are made to seem god-like, but also have limitations that aren’t even explained. The powers themselves are so far-fetched, it made me roll my eyes a little. I know it’s a fantasy/sci fi type novel, but it still has to be somewhat believable.
Brief glimmers of amazing writing, giving way to writing that is hard to even follow. If some of the parts were just fine-tuned a bit, and presented in a more concise and thought-out way, it would go a long way.
