Darkest Hour by Mark Chadbourn

jesslynh's review

3.0

When a book goes in a direction that I do t want it to, I try not to let it color my judgement. Thisbook/series has done so, but I'm hoping some of the characters make it out alright. That said, the storyline finally picked up enough for me to grab #3.

I'm hoping it keeps it moving. The writer has a tendency to pause for long philosophical discussions in the middle of all the action.

In short, neither the writing or the plot was good enough to be worth the cliff-hanger ending. It did flow better than the first, but the characters still don't have any depth or grow much, and frankly just aren't that likeable. I gave this a shot hoping it would improve from the first book, and it did... slightly, but not enough to make me reach for the third.

I really wanted to like this series (the premise being that the old Celtic gods have returned to rule the land) but it's just not that good.
