Review: Mostly frustrating, I felt excluded from the love of comic books.

I found these characters frustrating, one more than the other though. Trip seemed to be stagnating in his nerves, worrying himself to a frazzle and because of that, I got frazzled reading this book. I am not a fan of comic books and even if I was, to have so much specific information in the story was distracting. It was not inclusive, it came across as exclusive. I liked the secondary characters very much but when Trip and Silas were briefly separated there was just too much advice being given and not enough action being taken. Again frustrating and in a long book like this one, too much was more than enough. Then Trip seemed to wake up one morning and run into Silas when he was working and then the story ended, quickly wrapping up in what I felt was not a sustainable happy ending. This will not be a re-read for me, there were definitely some good moments but most of the book felt overdone with monsters, comic-heroes, villain-stuff and just not enough romance for me.
