Monster by A. Lee Martinez
Ah, the things I read when the the concept looks interesting...
So, Monster purports to be about two people who aren't especially fond of each other discovering something awful about to happen and trying to stop it.
I read it through and it had pages, just like a proper book. Other than that it didn't have a lot going for it. The characters were flat and dull. Speaking as someone who has worked in dull mind-numbing drone jobs, I can attest that a dull job does not denote a dull person. It was almost as if the characters were willfully blind to the things around them. For the record, I am not referring to the magic blindness, but to the general funk that both characters were so deeply rutted in, it may as well have been the Marianas Trench.
I liked the initial premise, but the main characters were so dull and boring it kind of ruined it. I'm sorry for the teeny tiny review, but I was bored silly. and don't feel like putting any more time into this that I possibly can. I'm sure there are more interestng books around elsewhere.
