Oh probably going to be generic spoilers in this post...
I read the first two Dexter books last week and have just finished the third. Now it could just be fatigue from reading all three in a short span but I really did enjoy the first two books a lot more.
It's not just the side-step into fantasy - though there are vague attempts to make it ambiguous - so much as the tone of the book. The first two were, despite the subject matter, fun reads. This less so. Even though the narrative dictatwes that Dexter would be less flippant in this situation it would, perhaps, have worked better if the tone gradually darkened as the threat became obvious.
It could even be that the part I was most interested in - the step-kids - was the sub-plot whilst the main plot was comparatively ordinary.
This third chapter isn't bad, just nowhere near as much fun as I'd have liked. |
