review 1: I think I like the idea of this book more than the execution. I like the characters, I like the story, but it needs some editing and more writing to make me love it.This feels more like the start of a story, rather than giving me a satisfying conclusion. I understand it is part of a series, but this just doesn't feel like a whole story to be published alone, but the first section in a longer work. And, even then, I think it needs some rewriting to expand the characters, take out the overwritten explanations and provide more show don't tell. I think the author had certain scenes clearly in mind, but not all of the ideas get onto the page, which means the pace is far too quick for my taste. Any suspense is left between stories, not in this actual story, which, since it is be... moreing presented as a standalone work, left me dissatisfied. Everything is in question-answer pairs and the only answer to be given in this story comes far too quickly, even episodes of TV shows usually take longer to get to the point.So, I gave this book a three star review for the ideas, but I'd have liked more plot.
review 2: I enjoyed the characters in this book and the plot was engaging. There is a nice lot of supernatural goings on and a story well woven to make you think and not instantly know what is happening. I often have the issue of being able to figure out a plot the moment all the characters have been introduced, but this one had me wondering. There was enough information to keep me interested, but not too much so it was written up in neon who did what to whom and when.I haven't given it five stars because I found some parts of the book a little overwritten and stilted. It wasn't enough to make me want to put the book down, but every now and then it made me notice the writing rather than staying completely engaged in the story.A good book, well worth a read and I am now going to go buy the sequel. less
