The Black Angel by John Connolly
1.0
This was not my favourite Charlie Parker book. Honestly, I think it's the weakest of the series so far. It wasn't all bad, but the few parts (and they were very, very few) I did enjoy didn't make reading the whole book very enjoyable.
There were just too many moving parts. Too many people, too many subplots, too many weird little details. It was all just way too much to keep track of all the time. By the time we get to the end, it's all so anticlimactic, that all the hyper-intense leadup was just epically let down.
The paranormal aspect is definitely ramped up this time around. I'm usually a fan of magical realism, or normalized paranormal elements. But I really, really don't like where they're going at the moment.
All in all, there was A LOT to take in and digest, for a lackluster finish, and a general sour taste as the book came to a close.
I'm a fan of this series, and I'm going to keep going with it. But this installment is definitely the weakest of the series so far. We can only move forward from here. Hopefully.
