The Road to Bedlam by Mike Shevdon
2.0
An incredibly weak and disappointing opening to a second book.
The grieving was very well done. The entire section about demise and the impact of such a loss was very believable. But it was glaringly obvious immediately to the reader that she isn't dead so the entire section had an incredibly hollow feel to it because you know it is all for nought. It goes on and on and on and you know the entire time. It's incredibly frustrating and feels like a huge waste of my time.
The way that the mc doesn't realize what's going on is pathetic as well. The first book convinced us that he was able to rapidly analyze and make good decisions under stress but now this? Everything that happened was extremely suspicious. This is so incredibly unbelievable that I can't even put my frustration into words. Dropped roughly 1/10 in. I skimmed a bit first and it seems 1/5 of this book is just this absurd bs even an oblivious reader will pick up on in the first 10 pages.
Sad.
