I jumped at the chance to request A Day of Fallen Night when I saw it on NetGalley. Unfortunately, I don't have the patience with this prequel that I had for the main novel. Firstly, I'm surprised that the prequel is longer than the main novel at 880 pages. Secondly and most importantly, I cannot get myself to invest in any of these characters. I made it 12% (over 100 pages) through and have decided (unpopularly, I imagine) to DNF.
