DNF - PG 107

Why?

I consider Hines one of my favorite authors. This dud hasn't changed that - though it has cooled my burgeoning interest in urban fantasy.

Anyway, Isaac Vainio annoys the stuffing out of me in this book. In the previous two, he was mostly likable in a typical ‘aw-shucks, nothing special but really superspecial' typical UF lead. His friends, who he was seldom away from, humanized him. But in this book... He's depressing, depressed, got his head shoved up his own ass, and is going to get himself and everyone around him killed. I hate him. And considering how little time he spends in the first hundred pages around his ‘friends' - without paying a sanguinist in their blood - there is little redeeming qualities to Isaac. He even repeatedly leaves Smudge behind. Oh, but only after actually making the spider afraid of him.

So... Yeah. Looking forward to the next in the Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse, even if I do have to wait til next year. I know Isaac won't be keeping me company until then.
