Amanda Wilkerson's Reviews > Hekla's Children

This book has a lot of interesting pieces, but for me they never really came together.

The first part is a mystery/thriller, which is wrapped up supernaturally super quickly and then it transitions into a horror story about an pretty scary monster. I liked the horror elements, but those too went away too quickly as the story pivoted to follow the most annoying character into a fantasy story that frankly bored me to tears. Eventually that too ended and the author tried to pull all these threads together into a satisfying conclusion.

I thought the conclusion made sense, but I really wish the author had spent more time developing the characters that are responsible for it. Although he sets up three women as heroes, I still felt like I knew very little about them by the end.
