![]() ![]() I do try to give a certain amount of leeway to books that are blatantly escapism, but I have watched commercials more compelling than this. Sky keeps a great deal of the plot hidden, forgetting to show instead of telling. The metaphors and similes are bizarre, the characters are flat, and the language choices are repetitive to say the least. My review, though, is based not on the content - which was disturbing enough that I did not even get 1/4 way into it - but on the spectacularly lackluster writing. Now, having seen the summaries of Sky's other offerings, I can see that this was the wrong expectation entirely. ![]() I did not expect torture, rape, or violence, but found all three. Apparently what I define as "dominant" is very different from what others imagine. I got this on the strength of a particular review, but oof. ![]()
