A review by sironigiri
Where the Waters Turn Black by Benedict Patrick

2.0

I'll be honest and say I'm disapointed. They mostly come out at night was a flawed book. Mostly because of the borderline incel protagonist. But except that I really enjoyed the story and dark fairytale aspect. I was hoping this book would be a improvement since the first one was the authors first book.
It wasn't.
The main character is self centered a big part of the book. And quite boring. The knacks return to little effect and all characters feel bland and recongisable as archetypes from the previous books. The storys feel like storys from the region inspireing this book, but they don't connect in as nice a way as the previous one.
There was one chapter I liked that brought back some mystery. But except that it was quite bland.
Not offensive but a bland taste in the mold of the previous books flawed gem.
