It's much more focused (despite being longer), and better at leveraging the worldbuilding to enhance the story.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546370463396570168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882495501831918897.post-90220436176570618572018-07-20T15:14:06.015-04:002018-07-20T15:14:06.015-04:00Such a good feeling to have my own opinion of this...Such a good feeling to have my own opinion of this book validated by someone I respect! Everyone else I know who's read this seems to have found it worthy of every high accolade conceivable; I really started to feel like I must have read a different novel. The worldbuilding was terrific, but the dialogue and pacing are both so flat. Also, the prose style is simple enough to seem ideal for elementary kiddos, which made some of the content (seriously horrific serial killer!) feel uncomfortable for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03480842577353503763noreply@blogger.com
