MIST

A slow burning thriller that dodges the action

This book becomes more difficult to read than it perhaps should be due to the high number of characters and storylines that get added in. For a long time, the action keeps happening elsewhere, and just as it seems like one storyline is warming up the author cuts elsewhere. They also play with time and sometimes jump perspective unexpectedly mid-chapter. This, along with an extremely long list of names, made the book something of a chore for me. I forced myself to finish and while the ending was a little less predictable than I thought, it wasn't really enough, and a lot of storylines were just wrapped up very abruptly in a sentence or two (having spent a long time on them earlier in the book). I wouldn't recommend this unless you want a very slow burner with a lot of characters predictably doing the wrong/dangerous thing.
