Review: Not the same old stuff you read every day

Steve's books are hard to read.  There's so much description of the surroundings, in terms I just skip over that to me it's distracting.  Not sure how many ways you can describe darkness?  But Steve can do it a hundred different ways, and he often does.That aside, I read a LOT of indie stuff and it's mostly regurgitated stories from the past.  Old story lines told over and over again.  This stuff is different and I like a different story.  I like NOT knowing what's going to happen.  I like wondering which characters are going to die, which ones are useful and why.  I like that it's not easy to tell where the story is going.A lot of books I read just because I feel bad paying for a book and not reading it through.  These books I cannot put down.  This one in particular was quite the page turner, and the ending was ... climatic.Take a chance.  Get past the copious descriptions of trees and darkness and sky color and shades of gray and black and oozing puss-like creatures, and the story behind that is solid, engaging, and takes you along for a nice ride.
