“You cannot handle the truth!”. Imagine if Jack Nicholson’s character in A Few Good Men had said that? This writer never uses contractions. it’s weird. And the characters are shallow and have zero back story. One of the characters kills another characters loved one in one scene and in the next scene, they go on with their relationship as if nothing had happened. None of the characters have any guile, wit, sarcasm, passion, anger, anything. The plot in the first half of the book can be summed up…’A minor battle between monsters and who-cares. A boring idiot discovers they have a skill then need to be broken out of jail. A quick and idiotic succession battle.’. I hate to hate, but sorry. Skip this book.
