Wild, Whimsical, and Very Wordy

Revisado: 07-07-21

Pros:

- Vivid Worldbuilding and Quirky Personality
- Enjoyable Characters (albeit fairly stereotypical)
- Well Executed Monster Mayhem with grisly gore and legitimate tension

Cons:

- Frequently goes off on long tangents overexplaining the lives and histories of Lawless and its people (30 minutes of book devoted to 2 characters that get eaten at the end of the same chapter their introduced)
- Underdeveloped explanation of the mystery and reasoning behind the horror
- Somewhat anticlimactic ending

Overall I saw great potential here for this author to make some truly great horror creature features. When the monster and it's rampage is focused on its some of the best stuff I've read or seen in recent monster memory. Unfortunately the book gets more than a little buried by extensive detail and world building that begins to feel rather repetitive by the end. When the balance is found it's a great read/listen but you just have to be forgiving of LOTS of detail and explanation in between. Looking forward to see what this author does next...but hopefully honey crullers and magnificent beards don't play as big of a role.
