A review by dearestdorian
Way Down Dark by J.P. Smythe
2.0
Cool title, dull story.
It's fitting that the Australia is falling apart and rife with violence and a highly unstable political system. After all, the country is peopled entirely with criminals...
So you'd think a book which focuses on a ship named after Australia would be a lot more interesting.
Alas, it took too long for this particular story to begin, and in the end, not much really happened.
Overall, would I recommend it?
No.
There's too little in it for me to split this review into sections for plot, character, and so on, which is the way I've been reviewing lately. I didn't get to a point where I was skimming, but finishing this book was a relief, because now I no longer have to struggle through it. I didn't hate it, but there was nothing there to love.
