The characters in 'Voodoo Child' are amazing! Finn is a character that the reader will love. The development he is going through is terrifying, making it difficult to put down the book. And Mama Caplata is a perfect antagonist. Subtle, penetrating and terrifying, she always influences crucial moments in the book.
In addition, there are (in my opinion) two storylines in the book that together form a balanced whole. The first is set around Finn in the present and the second in the past. The latter is subtly present at the beginning but develops as the book progresses.
In the climax of the story, these lines come together and show how important it is to confront fears from the past and present. With powerful images, Gloom shows this to his readers. Convincingly realistic and occasionally luguber surrealist, the author knows how to captivate his readers with his story from start to finish.
