Firstly, just look at that amazing artwork.....
Lovely dedication and great comments from the author with regards to how the trilogy made it this far and the very beginnings of why GR decided to write it.
Having listened to Chris
Barnes doing the audio of books 1 & 2 I now “hear” all these wonderful characters
in such brilliant 3D accents but then CB is an amazing narrator, plus he has
good material to work with.
GR is OCD in his
attention to detail. It really shows in every sentence of the book how thorough
he is in his research. I’m sure he must have a shed full of werewolves that he
has actually watched transform as everything else is so perfect.
The blood, gore and
succulent organs are in full force in the book.
Some very violent and sad deaths, I truly grieved for one in particular.
There are weapons, fight scenes and transformations galore; nobody can judge
there to be any shying away of the grotesque – so beware!
The underlying storylines,
are of course, always fantastic but would love to know more about the in
between stories; how did Michael become pack alpha, why was Connie so twisted
and how did Marie become so awesome. Don’t get me wondering on the weird
American!
The horror yet majesty of
GR werewolves is brilliant he makes clear distinctions between “turned” and
moon borne, rabid and calculating field operatives.
GR is a brilliant
manipulator of your worst fears from being followed in the dark to children
left in a crèche, what could possibly go wrong.
As for The Daily Fail
headlines had me in stitches even if the subject matter was sad. GR also manages to cram in some really humorous
moments which just really set you up for a massive “jump” like the old Twilight
Zone series.
Not sure which death is
worse but think Kat Yares would have been so proud of hers.
