Status Updates From Mr. Big Empty (Hollow Folk,...

It’s taking all my willpower not to check who the main character ends up with in this love triangle. Usually I can tell with love triangles because the authors always have a clear favorite but GA, true to form, does a great job with all of his characters in fleshing out their interpersonal relationships so there’s really no clear answer on who it’s going to be.

I think this is the only YA series GA has written and I’m not sure if it’s because it’s some of his older work or because it’s YA but I can definitely say I prefer his later stuff. I want to say it’s because it’s YA that the writing is different because the beginning of the hazard & somerset series wasn’t written like this. It’s still enjoyable, just different than I’m used to from him.

On page one, and immediately the writing is confusing. References to her without stating who her is, fine, we're not supposed to know yet. Then reference to him. Okay. Another unknown. Then immediately afterwards, the mountains are wrestling with the sun, trying to keep "him" down. Him as in the him from the last sentence, or is the sun a him now too??

I think I will DNF this. I don't love any of the characters and I am pretty sure about the identity of the killer. Also, I am not a fan of love triangles, or kissykissy triangles or whatever this may be... Siiiigh, I wanted to like this.
