A review by jamjimham
Darkness Between the Stars by J. Edward Neill
2.0
Received this book as a Goodreads giveaway.
From the summary I was really intrigued by this book. The setup i thought was done quite well. But the pace of the book was very quick. You follow Joff from being a child to an adult within a few chapters. Only getting snapshots into his life only when big changes are happening. This left Joff a little one dimentional for me and didn't help explain his motivations or actions to situations.
I won't go into the plot twist, only to say that I saw them coming and was not really surprised by what happened. Joff's reaction to these twists also didn't feel real as he switched on a dime without a whole lot of conflict.
I will say that as a concept this novel was interesting and there is something there. I am curious to see if this will become a series, and to see if it evolves.
