Review title: Never judge a book by it's cover
Product review: The cover art is very eye-catching, but as the title of the review says, you should never judge a book by it's cover. As usual, Mr. Lowder's use of the English language is extremely sub-standard, as is the writing in general. He also proves himself unable to expand upon someone else's work, as the main characters go completely against all previously established personalities. I love this type of novel, and have understood the characters since their first appearance in both gaming and literature, and this novel made me truly nauseous. It's flat, dry, and poorly written. There is little in the way of character development and virtually no resolution. Even the "gothic" feel Mr. Lowder tries to evoke comes off as fake, as though written by someone describing it after a single exposure. My general opinion is that this is one of the worst novels of all time.
