![]() Oh shucks, somebody please save the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white chick who's landed herself in some kind of magical coma. I can sum up about 80% of the plot into nothing more than finding and saving Annalise. It's like everything evil, nasty and fast-paced has just been sucked out of this story. The first few chapters are filled with Nathan's dreams of Annalise: touching her, exchanging bland conversation, staring at her skin-coloured skin and eye-coloured eyes (blue, I'd wager). Fuck knows what colour skin other ethnicities supposedly have. Not surprisingly, the character in question - Annalise - is white. Barely more than twenty pages in I was forced to do a double take when I read:īad use of descriptions aside, I cringed when I tried to conjure an image of what "skin-coloured" could possibly mean. So if you do happen to read this and discover something amazing, it's possible that it happened while I was busy not caring. I'm going to be completely honest and say I found myself skim-reading parts of the second half because it just could not hold my attention. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is not the sequel I had hoped for when I closed Half Bad last year, exhilarated and excited for the next installment. ![]()
