After a massive break from reading because of school work I've been taking time off from the internet instead so that I can try and get more sleep.
To relax my mind before bed I decided that reading for fun (as I used to do every day and have missed) would be great.
Without rereading the first 3 in the series I slipped easily back into the narrative of this book. I love AH's stories. They're always full of action and complexities, twists and turns.
But I have to say that in the technicalities he isn't that good of a writer.
This might be because I've spent the last two years being very very critical of writing. I'm aware that it is more effective to show not tell and he seems often to write "Scar did this" or "Pedro looked lost". Which is OK and gets the meaning across but it wouldn't hurt to alter the style a bit.
Mind you I give this book a good 4/5 and am eager to read the 5th and final instalment and I will probably read them all again before then too.
I hope to read a lot more soon so keep an eye on this. It should get better.
