Feelings of depression, loss, and defeat hit us when we least expect it. But, in this world, if someone walked down the wrong alleyway, they disappeared without a trace. Martha Railer struggled to cope with her loss, whilst her private world was invaded by the struggles of others. Meanwhile, a mysterious rider arrived in the town yet, despite his apparent confidence, was forced to battle new challenges brought about by his own loss.
Blind Isolation is the second book in The Dead Chronicles of Martha Railer series. Back in May I read the first book The Dark Stalkers, and was interested in seeing where the series was going. So, when Henry reached out a second time to review Blind Isolation I was happy to do so.
Blind Isolation gave a good insight into how depression and loss can affect an individual.
Again, like the first book we have no dialogue and although this was a little strange the first time around this time I didn’t mind so much. I think that was because I was expecting it.
In Blind Isolation we are introduced to some new mysterious characters who quite interesting considering we don’t really get to know them in much depth. This is where I wished the book was a little longer.
Thank you to the author for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest opinion. This is available now on Amazon Kindle and Kobo.
Blind Isolation is the second book in the Dead Chronicles of Martha Railer, the first being The Dark Stalkers. As with the first book, I really can’t compare it to anything else. Part of the reasoning for that is that there is no dialogue at all. This could be a little jarring at times, but it was also an incredibly bold choice.
I do feel that it worked better in Blind Isolation than it did in Dark Stalkers, although it could just be that I was expecting it and was less surprised. I also thought that it allowed the author to explore grief in a more introspective way. I do wish that there was a little more revelation regarding the mysterious addition, however.
While not a long book, Blind Isolation requires more of a commitment than shorter novels generally do, simply because of the nature of the story. It is an interesting and creatively told story.
Thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The way this book follows the first book in the life of Martha Railer. The way she fills her days and is feeling now was brilliantly written. I was looking forwards to reading chapters about her all the time.
All the other things happening in between; I have no idea. I couldn't follow it, it didn't really make sense and I just also didn't have any feelings towards what happened in between the chapters about Martha. I feel like the first book was much better to follow and the story kinda lost me in this book.
The 2nd in the series and more other realm characters are appearing in Martha's world to stir up trouble. With Martha going about her everyday life, she's unaware of those that follow. Again, there is no dialogue and I'm waiting to see where the story goes.
