Absolute Midnight by Clive Barker

adventurous dark tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.5

This felt like a completely different book than the others in the series. It was as if Clive Barker forgot almost everything about the first two books but still continued to try and finish the series without refreshing his memory. Which wouldn't surprise me, considering it was 7 years between this book and the second one. At this point I'm convinced he isn't going to finish the series, and that's okay with me. As much as I enjoyed reading all three of these books, this one deviated way too much from the premise of the first two for me to want to continue. Since that'll probably be the case as well if the 4th book ever gets published.
