Black Scars

After reading the first book I could not wait to get to the next one. Ofcourse, having read many a series now, I expect that there will be a drop in quality as you progress in to the series (Connor Grey being a prime example). Black scars delivers exactly that. The writing style that was so fresh in the first book becomes overwhelming in the second. The wafer thin plot also does not help and puts and even more emphasis on the detailed descriptions which at times start bordering on the senseless. Too many characters come and go and while we get a lose background for most of them they never really make an impact for themselves or are discarded without leaving a compelling memory. I will try the third book in the series in the home that the author recovers some of the mix that made the first book so awesome. Dresden Files is always going to be the benchmark!
