lyssie95 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 In other news, I just got the ebook So, I am just in the second chapter, but I figure since it is finally released we should have a super-cool thread on it. Now, all you Dan Wells fans, pipe up so this section of the boards can be slightly less pathetic! We should go for at *least* Stormblessed level of activty on this section of the forums So. As the title states, anyone have anything they want to talk about concerning the amazing Mr. Wells' newest release? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyman Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Yeah, that book is one serious ride. It caught me in the prologue, and kept me hooked all the way to the end. And there was some amazing foreshadowing about half-way through. I knew it was important when I read it, and it made sense when I reread that bit again after finishing, but wow. I think the thing that impressed me most was how well Dan combined real schizophrenia with the real speculative fiction aspects. The insanity reflected the equally-bizarre reality in odd ways, but unlike many books with a similar premise, he really was honestly insane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhalagirl Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I finished reading it yesterday and I loved it. I agree with happyman. The balance between the honest portrayal of schizophrenia and speculative fiction was fantastic. He managed to have an unreliable narrator that we could still trust and sympathize with. I loved the ending. It was very sweet and poignant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moru Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 It caught me in the prologue, and kept me hooked all the way to the end. I was the same way. This was a great book. I couldn't stop reading it... and I really enjoyed the way he tied everything up in a neat little bow at the end, and made all of the pieces fit. Although a couple of the reveals I already knew (See: Vanek) but I was disappointed in knowing. I was happy that I figured something out for certain! It was great. :3 This is actually the first Dan Wells book I've read, but now I'm going to run and read the rest of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that sounds unlikely given the subject of the book, well, it isn't. You've been warned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
