MH Thaung reviewed Not Enough Midnights by Michael Merriam
Fun action-adventure with weird stuff and mild horror
This is an action-adventure story with weird stuff going on. The prose was easy to read, though I noticed a couple of dozen typos: enough to knock me off my stride. There was also a tendency for complex sentences that distractingly fell into similar rhythms.
We get the story from 3 points of view, all of which are in first person. I didn’t always pick up whose viewpoint we had shifted to and had to backtrack a few times.
The plot… well, weirdness happens, and the characters try to deal with it :) No point thinking about plausibility or realism since it’s not the kind of story you want to pick apart that way.
Overall, a fun popcorn read with mild horror.
