The Crooked Letter: Books of the Cataclysm, One by Sean Williams


(pb; 2006: prequel to The Blood Debt: Books of the Cataclysm, Two)

Review

Crooked is a cinematic, if way-chatty and overlong mishmash of spiritual and fantasy themes better written about by Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman, if said themes and  were filtered through a PG-13 lens. It is not terrible, but most of its characters─including its “mirror twins”─are generic and the book would read better if its length was cut by a third. Borrow this from the library before committing cash to it.
