A review by k444
The Rise by Ian Rankin

lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.0

Not sure what this was- too short for any character development, too predictable to be a thriller, too long to be a short story and too slow to be exciting. Good idea but executed as if by an amateur- which he certainly isn’t. 
Oh- and I hate it when authors leave gaps for the readers to fill.
