A review by mrsovens
The Hill by Iain Rob Wright

adventurous dark emotional funny tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

A slow start and a strong finish. It had just enough intrigue to stop it feeling like a generic sci-fi,  and I was compelled to keep reading. The plot is good but the writing feels amateur (well written for an amateur though), with character names constantly being mixed up and sentences repeating themselves (a theme that continues throughout the series) If you can get past this though, it's a compelling story and you find yourself rooting for the lads.
