Hollow Men by Todd Sullivan
3.0
I received a copy of this book from the author. I am providing my honest opinion voluntarily.
TRIGGER WARNING: child abuse, harming an animal, gore
I liked the cover. The vibrant colors drew my attention, and it reminds me of the elf guy from the Lord of the Rings movies.
For a quick read, it included a pretty detailed story. There was a lot of action involved, and the plot was an interesting one. The author clearly understands and respects traditions in Asian culture, and they seemed to be well represented in this story.
I was initially shocked at the casual way that major abuse of a character was mentioned, and I was especially turned off by the way that abuse to an animal was used in a gratuitous way. I also struggled with understanding a lot of the words in the text, that were unfamiliar and undefined completely. I also couldn't connect emotionally to a single character, which made it difficult to really get invested in the story.
