Review of Chromatophobia
[Following is a volunteer review of "Chromatophobia" by W. D. County.]
With a rare condition in his eyes that leaves him seeing life through shades of grey and a beneficial sharp vision that comes with it, Sgt. Miles Reardon has made the most he can of his condition and become one of the best and ruthless snipers the Marine has ever seen. Fearless, he tackles the missions he’s sent to without emotion and gets the job done. All of that changes the moment he’s placed in charge of the security of experts brought together to explain a new phenomenon never encountered before.
In W.D County’s Chromatophobia, we’re immersed inside an underground military facility where a diverse group of researchers will attempt to study, understand and explain why a man from an expedition at Antarctica has what appears to be a multicolored rash while also leaving everything around him in shades of grey. Miles, unable to see the colors others see on this man, becomes fearful of the source and how it affects the others who are able to see color, and how it seems to keep growing and giving abilities no man has ever possessed before.
One of the things that I loved about Chromatophobia is that it moves from first point of view in one chapter, to third point of view in the next, allowing us to see different characters’ perspective, their thoughts, emotions, and what drives them forward with the investigation. At first, I was a bit thrown off by this, since I expected the whole book to be from Miles’ point of view, but was later feeling ecstatic because readers would be able to better understand the actions of every single character involved. The way W.D County utilizes different areas of studies and presents them in the book are pretty easy to grab to, even if you’re not familiar with the subject.
The book has a pretty slow start to it, but you eventually catch up to the more interesting chapters, and it will continuously provide you with something new to what happens inside the facility. I know some readers get bored with slow starts and very little action in books, but I’d recommend being patient for this one; it’s worth it.
I give this book 4 out of 4 stars because it kept me captivated on what was about to happen next. I also love books that give me emotions such as anger, annoyance, happiness, among others, while reading. It usually means the story has definitely captured my mind and I’m living it.
I would recommend this book to readers that love authors like Dean Koontz and Jeff VanderMeer, as well as science fiction books overall. It does contain some mild sexual content, and religious content, so I would not recommend it for kids below 15 or people that do not like religion involved in the stories.
