Three Gray Dots by K.L. Randis
3.0
I thought the story-line in Three Gray Dots was overall a great story that contained some equally great elements but the execution wasn't all there for me. It fell really flat.
There were times where I would get slightly lost or confused in the story and although it didn't take me much effort to get back on track at all, it was still a struggle for me. The past / present POVs threw me for a loop but once I was brought back up to speed I was all good to go. But the fact that I had to do that more than just a few times-- really made it hard for me to like it 100%.
The realest and biggest issue that I had with this story was the character dialogue. It was forced, uncomfortable, and sporadic. I feel like the author really tried to make this a character driven novel but it just couldn't be done due to the forced dialogue.
I loved KL Randis' novel Spilled Milk but for some reason Three Gray Dots was a lot harder for me to digest than the last novel of hers that I read. Three Gray Dots lacked a lot of strong dialogue, it was sporadic and inconsistent, and had no flow what so ever. I loved Jackson though. A male character like him is hard for me not to like. For as short as the book was it shouldn't of taken me that long to finish but because of the constant back and forth I had to force myself to do-- it took a while.
