Review: Disappointed

This book was highly anticipated in my home. It fell short for a few reasons: 1) taking pieces from the COIL mini stories was a let down. Having already read them I felt like this was a Hodge-podge. Yes you gave more story to the mini series but it still was a repeat. I expected a brand new adventure. 2) Your editors must have missed some key points when melding the stories. We were introduced to Nathan in the underwater escapade and his appearance. In the "2 years later" scenario you go on to describe his appearance yet again. Why at least twice in the same book do we need a full out description of his character. Subtle things like his mustache growing back would have been enough. 3) While I understand this book to be a work of fiction, your past books have at least had a since of "believability" to them. With the story of an underwater city, you overstretched. In another chapter you open the door and send in a high school kid as a COIL agent with no training other than fruit tossing. If I were to offer a piece of advice, don't write because your on a time frame to release a book. I would MUCH rather read a book that came out later than expected but was full of GOOD reads than to read an anticipated book on time only to be disappointed because of the authors lack of inspiration to create NEW.
