Jet Li’s - The One, Pokémon, Highlander....All potential influencers and inspirations yet move over Frankenstein, Fletcher has made his own monster. In a tale told so well, so twisted and dark, you couldn’t see the foreshadowing. It was everywhere. This book has you questioning, again and again, “what is evil?” “How far is too far?” “If I root for this behavior, am I evil? Graphic at times, it’s darkest moments are done off camera and leave you to your own imagination. It contains lines like...
“Maybe I can give you the stab test.”
“Stab test?”
“If you don’t die, you’re a demon.”
“Not evil. Not evil at all, I chided myself.”
“Silence reigned like a terrible god.”
And every avid reader can relate to...
“I wanted to stop here, to spend my last days reading, to lose myself in their pages.”
So Mr. Fletcher I say to you, finish the series, so I don’t have to spend my last days losing myself in THESE pages...at least not on the first read through!!!
