A review by kiwie
Early to Death, Early to Rise by Kim Harrison
2.0
Better than the first, but still not brilliant or anything. I feel like Madison isn't a real teenager (which I guess she isn't, seeing as she's dead and the dark timekeeper, but you know) which bugs me, but I do like that she's not whiny.
There is just something about this trilogy that seems "off" to me, and I'm probably not the only one since I got this and the last novel super cheap at the store (that one is a hardcover too). Still some good fun in there, but the pacing is weird, this all happens in a couple of days, which means very little character development/forced development. I understand that this was about Madison's reap prevention/rescue thing, and that it unfolded as a mystery (but instead of "who did it" we're looking for "who is going to do it?"), but in the end it's all a bit "meh"
