The Kept by James Scott

3.0

This is a good book if you're reading for atmosphere, not so hot if you're looking for character development. The descriptions of places and what the characters were seeing or experiencing were quite good, but I don't feel that I ever got a handle on what the characters were all about. I don't want to include any spoilers, so I'm not going to say what the main characters did, but some of their actions and/or character flaws were serious enough that I really needed a little more explanation as to how they got to be the people they were. So I didn't find this book to be too satisfying. The only thing I could say is that maybe you understood the characters as well as they understood themselves.
