It continues on in a first person narrative and you are left thinking it is a continuation and reflection until the last lines and you discover that it isn’t what you think it is, and it makes the promise and perspective of the next book interesting and chilling at the same time. I think the biggest surprise turn at the end of the book was the epilogue. Yet, before the end things ramped back up for an interesting twist. It wasn’t until the end of the book that I finally found myself getting bored, and that was simply because I knew I was at the end and it was a calmer period where most mysteries were figured out and things were starting to wind down. I loved almost every minute of the story. Outside of that, the book was fantastic, frightening, and quite gripping. Additionally, the setting of Stony Brook was the same and as such the novel even warranted a mention of Mark Diamond a character from the Pendragon series, which brought a smile to my face. Having read the Pendragon series the characters though different were reminiscent of the ones from his first series. His story, told in the first person, as his norm, was enchanting and gripping from the start, with characters full of life and quirks that make them vastly unique and very him. I was fortunate that MacHale did not let me down. His writing style was something that caught me by surprise, and I fell in love and thus, long ago, when I saw he had a new book series out I picked it up to look at it and was instantly intrigued by the idea of his new character, Marshall Seaver, who is being haunted by a character of his own creation.Īfter having had a bad experience with with another author who I will review down the road, I was wary to go back and read a book by an author I had read before. I first became familiar with DJ MacHale when I randomly picked up the first book of his fabulous series known as the Pendragon Series. As it seems it is my usual, I came to The Light because of the author.
