The Rook was recommended to me, and while I didn’t love it I thought I would- it did have some good parts. The story begins with Myfanwy Thomas, standing in the rain, with dead people around her wearing latex gloves. She has no memory of how she got here or why she has 2 black eyes.

Interesting teaser, right? Well then the story takes you on a ride of sci-fi type things- think X-Men, Ghostbusters, and others of that type- a long ride filled with some good plot, some bad plot, and some plot that needn’t have happened. The book for me was about a 100 pages too long. The ending seemed a bit anti-climatic- especially after all this big build-up to it.

Overall, I didn’t hate the book- but I wasn’t wowed by it either.
