‘It is a classical error to pour all the love and information into a book.’ I must say that I agree, but it is a debatable subject. It’s often raw and harsh, which really suites the characters.Īnother author (Patrick Rothfuss I believe) once said that one of the hard parts of writing is not getting too involved in your ‘world’. Third, I just really love Thurman’s humour. Second, the plot is not only unpredictable but also interesting while adding layers to the story. This doesn't only add to their credibility but also gives a brilliant scope on their character and the group dynamics.
Because Thurman has already laid a solid foundation for her world she had more room to expand certain parts of the story. The first part of the book has a way more relaxed feel to it, with Cal not having a constant sword of Damocles above him there is still a certain thrill. Where the first book surprised me often with its unexpected twists, this sequel is even more unpredictable. In the first book Cal and Niko survived and won against all odds, but not without scars.
It starts with as little ‘pre-information’ as possible, before building straight to the same ‘page turning’ pace Thurman managed to create in the first book. If you have read Nightlife you’ll certainly enjoy this story. Sometimes a sequel doesn't meet the expectations. If you’re interested after reading that review please continue reading Thurman’s Cal Leandros novels because you’ll not be disappointed. So if you’ve managed to get your hands on this book without knowing this is the second in the series, please read the review about Nightlife. I recommend reading it in the right order. This is the second novel in the Cal Leandros series.
Creatures that scuttled across the surface of this world when the air was sulphuric acid and the night time moon all but blocked out the sky.
But I am not talking your sweaty pedophile or your serial killer with a cold and silent harem buried in his crawling space. No big deal, right? Monsters are everywhere in this world.
