I really want to bring attention to this one.
Perhaps you'll feel differently than I did about the second half. If you enjoy playing "Diablo" or reading Dark Fantasy, maybe give this book a chance.
I became antsy and impatient for the ending, so as much as I enjoyed over half of the book, I would have rather been playing "Diablo" during the last third or so. However, after that, it quickly became extremely predictable, and each turn of events grew more and more implausible and convenient. That is Abomination in a nutshell, and it's not for anyone who doesn't enjoy horror or is easily bothered by graphic violence.Ī little over halfway through the book, the story took an unexpected turn that I can't explain without giving away an important detail not mentioned in the synopsis. If you've never played any of the "Diablo" games, then just know that they're dark, gritty, and graphic, and they involve demonic possession and all the horrors that come along with it. However, most of the story itself, especially the plot, was enjoyable and made me think of the "Diablo" video games I love to play. It was full of anachronisms, and many of the characters had highly modern attitudes that were flat out ridiculous in the historical setting. However, it didn't take long before it veered away from the history of 9th century England into pure Fantasy Fiction. In a way, it starts out as an alternative history or at least a Fantasy explanation of certain events. Abomination is a mashup of History and Fantasy.
