![]() ![]() I do think that the jumping around in time to Isaac’s past, as well as the story that he reads in this mysterious book, do interrupt the plot line enough to be confusing until the very end, when everything comes together. I like the action and the drama interspersed with the relatively normal aspects of Isaac’s life. The situations that Isaac gets involved in are a bit wild, but all make perfect sense within the context of the story. In general, I think the plot was done well. And the answer may be more complicated than he can imagine. Isaac has to navigate these new monsters who are trying to kill him, then figure out just why they’re trying to kill him. He is helped by the elf L’æon, who may be more trouble than he’s worth. This book follows Isaac, a librarian in Anchorage, Alaska, as he discovers a mysterious book and suddenly starts seeing otherworldly creatures everywhere. Dead Man Walking by Zach Adams does just that, and oh, the shenanigans. I have a particular soft spot for urban fantasy, partly because it’s one of the genres that I write, but also because any story where you get to throw an average, modern day human into a situation full of magic and mayhem is bound to be entertaining. ![]()
