denasaurus_rex 's review for:

The Dark Monk by Oliver Pötzsch
3.0

Not nearly as strong a sophomore outing as I was hoping for. I really enjoyed The Hangman's Daughter and this book wasn't as strong.

First of all, he separates the characters. They're doing their own thing for most of the novel when what I enjoyed about the first was the interaction between them.

Second, give it a rest with the Templars. Please.

Third, too many "Oh, did I neglect to tell you that I figured it all out off page?" moments.

Not sure that I'll be back for more of the Kuisls. Maybe I will.
