2.0 out of 5 stars Novella stretched into a novel Jun 4 2008
By William M Miller - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This story had a lot of promise, but unfortunately never paid off. Once the setup is revealed, nothing really happens until the very end. Long, vague descriptions slow the pace down to a crawl. Reading this reminds me of waking up from a dream I can't seem to remember because it all blurs into a confusing mess. This would have worked much better as a novella -- something, in my opinion, Tim Lebbon is better at writing. There simply wasn't enough material to merit a 325 page novel. I hate to say it, but this is another disappointment. Lebbon's novel, Beserk, is still his best work.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Read Aug 11 2007
By Kevin J. Hurtack - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Tim Lebbon does a lot of good things in this book. He has a good grasp of creating believable characters. Whether they are human or immortal their actions and personalities are believable and realistic.

Lebbon's writing also shines when it comes to creating a sense of paranoia and conspiracy, especially early in the novel when Scott has recieved the letter from Papa and is home alone. Lebbon also brings up this sense of paranoia when Scott recieves a mysterious message in the hotel when he's traveling with Nina.

He's also an excelent writer when it comes to actions sequences. His descriptions are very vivid and the style of writing is fast paced which keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The only problem I had with the book is that the truth behind the Chord of Souls is rather muddy at best. I would've preferred a bit more of an explanation as to the nature of the Chord. Although there are some definte hints throughout the tale as to what it does or is doing. I enjoy stories that allow the reader to fill in the gaps or wonder about it all. It's a tale that once done with if you think back over the plot things start to click.

SPOILER....

The only other thing that bothered me is I thought Lewis needed the Chord to recite a spell to release Papa, but unless I missed it this never happened and Papa was simply freed upon the Chord's destruction.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some very interesting ideas...but it fell flat July 27 2007
By J. Resnick - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really liked the idea of these immortals living among us, and this ancient, secret "book" written way back when. But, after reading the word "Papa" for the 700th time by page 100, it started to annoy me. I get that the main character had a very close relationship with his grandfather...but it was over the top. And the last 20 or so pages didn't make a lot of sense. Characters just seemed to pop up in places. Ah well. I'm a fan of Mr. Lebbon's work, but this was just OK.
