Regardless all that would merely make it an okay book with too much description, if the description wasn't frightening and stomach-turning.
The author had a child tied up by a skinwalker who ate the child alive. The child asphyxiated on her own vomit as her liver was being eaten. I feel revolted just thinking about it.
Is this a good series? I won't be reading any more of them. I won't be able to ever forget that imagery and I resent the author for putting it in my head. The book didn't have any warnings that it was going to get perverted. It should have. I think all books should come with warnings just like films. Authors shouldn't be allowed to get away with the kind of deviance that a film would get slapped for.
That wasn't the only demented aspect of the narrative, just the one that swirls through my head the most. I do wonder about authors who are able to write things like this. What goes through their minds when they look at the people around them?? I don't think murdering a child so graphically was necessary for the narrative progression. It has turned me off this author completely.
