(book is 1st person pov btw)
I hate the protagonist.
Feelings solidified around 16% mark where I became convinced Anton's skull is like an abandoned hangar with nothing but occasional wind roaring through. He lacks brain-to-mouth filter, cannot shut up to save his life and is incapable of being serious. He is infuriatingly flippant about his occupation, even though the dangers were drilled into him from young age. He makes me want to reach through the pages, strangle him, burn his corpse on a pyre and salt the ground.
I can see what the author was going for, but he did not manage to actually pull it off. The writing needs a lot of work and should have been condensed. Also - too much dialogue for something supposedly action-packed. Really, it feels like the only thing they do is talk trying to sound smart.
There is actually a plot! Which drags and drags, and just doesn't seem to happen? They are busy but it does not feel like anything is being done. Personally, I felt no urgency. When things were actually happening writing dragged and got bogged down by overflowing descriptions.
Sadly, not even awesomeness of Rani and Bec combined (plus an actively present parent!) was enough to help the book along. This was not spooky or engaging or thrilling.
The idea was interesting, the execution suffers most terribly.
VERDICT : AVOID. CANNOT RECOMMEND… (plus d'informations)
