Review: Disturbing in its intensity!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 12 21, 2012
This novel impressed me as a particularly intense piece of writing. Even with its generously applied elements of the supernatural and wizardry, it still came across as vivid and realistic, thanks in large part to occasional instances of dark humor and flashes of insights into the minds of the main characters, both the "good guys" and the more sinister ones. I'm sure that, while some people might find certain episodes sickeningly violent, I would suggest that these descriptive scenes are intended to convey the seriousness of the ordeal that is being depicted here.All in all, I think that this work will appeal strongly to adult readers who are not in the habit of shying away from reading about some of the gritty horrors that, specifically in this novel, Diana (in particular) is subjected to.I unhesitatingly give this uniquely entertaining book a well-deserved five-star rating!
