Wow, blown away by this incredible review of The Kindly Ones from Monster Library! 😲
https://www.monsterlibrarian.com/TheC..."Instead of opting for a story arc with peaks and valleys, the book opts for a slow, calculated pace, and relies on creating an overall atmosphere of unease that persists throughout the story, and it does it extremely well. Much of it is due to the author’s phenomenal way with words; the writing is art in story form. If the 19th century masters of British literature had decided to go wild and write horror, The Kindly Ones is what one of them might have produced. However, like reading Dickens, this is best read slow, so nothing is missed and the author’s meaning is understood. The book is an AP course on how to write well, and could be enjoyed for that alone.
"Incredible writing aside, The Kindly Ones is still a good enough story that most readers should enjoy and appreciate it...
"If you’re looking for an unusual book that paints a picture instead of just telling a story, The Kindly Ones is for you. Recommended."
