Heart of Midnight

For a first novel, the prose was actually better than I expected. And the ending was appropriately downbeat, considering the setting. Everything else about the book was frustrating, though. The characters were generally unlikable or — at best — irritating. I've seen a few people say Harkon Lukas was a bright spot — but honestly, he wasn't, and ended up being more of a drag than bright spot. I won't spoil one of the novel's big twists, but it's worth mentioning that it's both clever and hilariously stupid (I didn't think this was possible 'til now).

This isn't high literature to be sure (an Amazon reviewer said it has a "choppy, unfinished feel"), but if you're a fan of Harkon Lukas you can't go wrong.

This book was a snoozer. The story didn't make all that much sense as far as plot, motivations, or anything else.
