Finished this one. Great story as usual from David Michael. I really respect this guy as a storyteller.
There were a few weaknesses this time around so no 5 stars from me. I was thrown in one section by the introduction of an element of the story which threw a little too much at me at once and I was disoriented for quite a while trying to integrate the elements into my understanding. Also the ending was a little less satisfying than I'd hoped. It wasn't that it was a bad ending per se, it's just that I think certain characters needed to be developed a bit further to reach this point - particular that of Margaret.
However, overall, great story and great characters. Another winner from David Michael keeping him towards the top of my "go-to" indie author list.
Now I'm going to try out
Carmilla. This novella intrigues me because I knew nothing about it until it was nominated for the book club read this month. Pre-dating and heavily influencing Bram Stoker's
Dracula? This I have to read.
