Dark Horizons by Dan Smith

3.0

My favourite thing about Dark Horizons was how vividly the scenery and the culture of Indonesia were brought to life. There was an alluring and exotic sense of adventure to the book which contrasted well with the darker side of paradise that Alex, our protagonist, comes to experience. I found the book to be well written and at times, quite chilling. The characters, with the relationships and conflicts built between them, were strong and I particularly enjoyed Alex's development from a person willing to be roped into anything, to one who stood up for his moral beliefs.

I found my interest in the plot began to slip at times which is why I only gave the book three stars in the end. However, it was still an enjoyable and thought-provoking read.
