Holy Island by L.J. Ross

1.0

I found this book disappointing, given the good reviews here and on Amazon - two-dimensional, clichéd characters, implausible plot and irritating (for me) prose style. I only kept reading to find out if I had identified the culprit(s) correctly, but then at the end the storyline didn't resolve properly. The epilogue made it clear that it isn't really a standalone book and, from reviews of the next two in the series, it is now obvious that they form a trilogy. It would be better if that was made clear from the start instead of giving the impression that this book is a complete story. I'm left as frustrated as I would be if I'd given up on a single book a third of the way through as I don't want to waste time and money on the other two books.
