Finn Fancy Necromancy by Randy Henderson
3.0
I was so eager to jump right into this story immediately after reading Randy Henderson story that won him the Writers of the Future Grand Prize last year. That entry showed us a glimpse of a world where memories are passed on and can make or break an individuals future. In Finn Fancy Necromancy it seems this world is similar in nature or is in fact a part of that world and really had me at that point.
The problems that bothered me though were the multiple and multiple pop culture references that are trying to make the characters witty, funny, or who knows but if was more irritating after so many were used in the first couple of chapters. Along with that despite the main character all the others were boring or just not developed enough that I could feel anything for them.
Overall a decent first novel, but considering this is the first from a grand prize writers of the future writer I'm hoping that future novels of his get better and better rather quickly.
