Good sweet merciful Odin, where to even begin with the disappointment in my soul. I feel bitter after this book. It deserved to be better; I expected it to be better, especially after the praise heaped onto the author for his furnace series. I was expecting to be treated to some actual horror in t...

This is has got to be the longest book I’ve read this year.I’m going to start off with what bothered me about the book. The book is good, don’t get me wrong.

Review: I enjoyed the first book in the Furnace series and for some reason never carried on. I thought it would be interesting to see what else Alexander would come up with. It’s different in some ways (for example, no prisons, a little supernatural twist), but it’s similar that it’s what you’d defi...
