Bunu rekor sürede okudum --- bir ay veya daha fazla kurgusal olmayan şeyden sonra bir sopa sallayabildiğimden sonra, bu doğru. Yazarın diğer kitaplarından birkaçını okudum ve piliç yakarken onlar hakkında daha önemli bir şey olduğunu takdir ediyorum. Karakterler iyi çizilmiş, arsa öngörülebilir ya da yüzeysel değil. Stres benim için mükemmel bir ara oldu.
The Altiverse hopping is a good idea. Joey is sympathetic. Lady Indigo is fascinating. The stories of magic vs technology is intriguing. But the book has no real plot. And it is clearly the first chapter in a long series. It would make more sense only if it was followed by other books.
I was intrigued with the author's idea of having a constant "Need" to help strangers, a representation of angel on earth, the so called the Forgotten. While the idea itself is interesting, the execution of the whole thing is flat and anti-climatic. The dialogues are dry, and there's hardly a character in this book that I come to like or memorable to say the least. I find myself really hard to like or even care for Charlotte Cassidy, for all her role and sacrifices that she made. The way she portrayed in the book only came off to me as whiny, weak, boring, and who only think of her boyfriend, Harlin. Oh, can I say that the relationship between her and Harlin is too cheesy to bear? Overall, this is an okay book, but very forgettable. Probably not worth the time and money.
