I liked this much more than I should have.
An Alaskan town gets attacked by a group of vampires during a 30-day polar night. A promising and creepy premise that the author didn’t really do anything with. There are several points in the book where a new story element gets introduced that had the potential to make this interesting but then is actually going nowhere. Characters are underdeveloped and there’s absolutely no sense of time. By the end of the story 30 days had passed and I hadn’t noticed it at any point. The resolution too could have been interesting but came out of nowhere and was done with rather quickly.
Yes, this isn’t a good book. But it has a nice atmosphere, the trippy artwork somehow works - even if strictly speaking it isn’t good either - and the story requires zero brain power, which on some evenings is just what I need.
So, it wasn’t good. But I enjoyed it.
