Re: Favorite/Least Favorite Aspect(s) of the Book?
I wanted to know more of Arthur's back story. I enjoyed the beginning of the book very much but was frustrated with questions about why Arthur was in jail and why he castigated himself so terribly. Also, it is mentioned several times how Abigail had something to do with Arthur's incarceration. Is there another book out there in which this part of the story is found? It seems like this was mentioned in another thread?hsimone wrote:While reading, there were some definite parts that I really enjoyed and kept me at the edge of my seat while others not so much.
What were your favorite and least favorite aspect(s) of Raven's Peak? How could your least favorite part(s) improve in order for you to have enjoyed the story even more?

My least favorite would probably just be Haatim and his inability to get with the program faster. I get that hunting demons is something he never expected to do, but sometimes I just wanted to shake him for being so inexperienced with things that seem like common sense.
I liked this response and agree.

I'm glad that at least a few others felt the same way I did! And I definitely agree about the boy being well done. I always feel like kids and dolls are the most surefire ways to creep me out.gali wrote:Indeed! The scene with the boy was really well done.

I thought he seemed really interesting and the prologue made me excited to read the rest of the book.
Least Favorite: I thought that Abigail and Haatim were pretty flat characters overall. I just couldn't find much about them that seemed really believable. Yeah, they did all the surface-level things that made sense, but it didn't feel like it went any deeper than that.

I agree about using kids and dolls are easiest ways to creep me out, too. Chuckie? I can't...I tried and it's just way too creepy. I'm getting the shivers just thinking about this.CarrieMe wrote:I'm glad that at least a few others felt the same way I did! And I definitely agree about the boy being well done.

I enjoyed the old town of Ravens Peak. I wish the author had drawn that out more. Developed the scene and had more actin taking place there. So that was my most and least favorite art the same time.
I agree! Raven's Peak old town can be made more terrifying and this should have been made part of the prologue with Arthur who is the most interesting part of the story.

I agree. There were some parts that I kind of knew what was going to happen. It was still entertaining though.angelbeats1 wrote:I liked the setting, I think the Author did really well in the terms of explaining things. I liked Arthur's character, it was intriguing. I'm not sure is this is a problem only I faced, but the story line seemed quite predictable in some places. I like a story that keeps me guessing.

But I don´t like action scenes in this book and predictability of the plot. I also don´t like author´s urge to explain everything. When I started to be afraid of something, he explained it and my fear faded. I think that the fear of unknown and hopelessness would be better and there could be still space for good managed action.
