Meta Audi rated The Four Fiends of Niflheim

Meta Audi rated a book 2 years ago
A downloadable book.

Pros: Simplistic style done well and the prose is skim to allow for the bigger plot to take place. The characterization is top notch and despite having a lot of characters introduced in the first couple pages they're all memorable enough to not blend into one another. The story handles the "no one is innocent" trope well in the sense that it's very entertaining to watch horrible people do horrible things to each other. The grander plot and backstory sequences are very gripping as well and are where I feel the story peaks.

Cons: Some specific mystery reveals use stretches of the imagination way too wide. While the ending is done well, I personally wasn't the most enthralled by it. The final mystery especially just felt a bit shoehorned, like it was a mystery just for the sake of having another mystery right at the end. Because of this, the ending feels a little anticlimactic, which to some extent is sort of the point I suppose. Again, it's done well but it's not what I would've done.

Overall a very good read and written very well. I enjoy the style, tone, and mystery. The atmosphere reminds me of the Zero Escape games. Good stuff.
