A Dance of Shadows by David Dalglish

3.0

Perhaps it's been a while since I read one of Dalglish's books, but this one seemed to be one of the bloodiest and most brutal. Granted, any Hearn story ups the blood ante though this seemed to do so twice over. The result is like slogging through thick molasses though redder and smelling bad. Perhaps it has to do with what Dalglish honestly admits at the afterward, he hated writing this one. While in this version he got to do it over a bit that feeling persists. An important story to continue the series and the scenes with the Eschaton are fantastic, with an ending that is as perfect as it is darkly poetic, this is good but damn I need a drink.
