Paths Not Taken by Simon R. Green
2.0
I don't know what it is with me and this series. I haven't really thoroughly enjoyed a single book of it so far, but this book was sitting on my Kindle, ready and waiting, when I needed something else to read. So I read it.
John Taylor and Suzie Shooter star in this one, though John's more of an anti-hero than ever before. There's a lot of chasing people around, a bit of deus ex machina, and a lot more gore than I noticed in previous books.
Same old phrases make their appearances, excessive and redundant. Every character feels like the same character, every voice feels like the same voice: egotistical, power-hungry, unapologetic.
This book was OK because it goes further in pursuing the mystery of Lilith, and I'm curious enough about the outcome that I'll probably read more of this series - but not for a couple of months, anyways. I need a break from the redundancy.
