- Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
- Time spent reading is always well-spent. This was a decent read, and did a nice job of giving all the good parts of the genre plenty of time to play.
- What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
- Integrating Lovecraftian elements into a fairly-rote post-apocalyptic fantasy was a nice touch.
- Any additional comments?
- This was obviously a labor of love for a dedicated fan of video games and classic sci-fi. It is well-enough written, with echoes of Gaiman and King. It just never really achieves the level of technical literary proficiency that Neil and Stephen manage to hit.
I enjoyed the brutally quick pacing, the fantastic creatures, starkly bleak characters, and creative blending of genres. This was a fun romp, if not an instant classic. I will watch the author, though, because there are moments of real brilliance in this book. Just needs some prosaic polish.
