A review by bmacenlightened
Darkened by Bryan Smith

4.0

This is a hard one for me, because I did devour the book and read it fast and it kept me riveted throughout despite the fact that some portions of it seemed oddly normal for the situations that were occurring. There was nothing too over the top for me to handle and honestly I kind of wish there was more in it. It was a pretty cool setting and some pretty interesting people and I wouldn't have minded this being 400 pages instead with more meat on its bones. I also gotta say that I wasn't super happy with the way it ended. It seemed unrealistic in the epilogue but even before that the 'final showdown' seemed kind of ridiculous and like perhaps if Smith would have written this later in life it'd probably be even better. However I did quite enjoy it and I'm definitely going to read more of his stuff. I got this on Amazon for 99 cents and the entertainment I got out of it was definitely worth more than that.
