Great prologue that hooks the reader. Then it gets boring. All exposition that I don't care about. Nothing happening but the author's own rambling opinions on culture. We haven't met the hero yet. Nor a villain. Nor anything resembling a plot. The POV is awkward and clunky. Does first-person work for supposed horror? How did this book get published?

On chapter 33 and I'm ready for the book to be over. The author introduced a great, highly original premise in chapter 7. However the narrative contains so much random exposition that it kills the story. The characters are good but not quite believable. I have 10 chapters left and I'm hoping the author can finish strong. He's already wasted so many great opportunities with this storyline.
