Nevernight was a masterclass in melodrama. Everything was overwritten in metaphors and similes to mask the fact that nothing was happening and that the characterisation was poor. For something with such a fun description, it was a long slog through the swamp of boredom and I just couldn't force myself to keep reading.
If you're thinking about picking up this book, do yourself a favour and just read the first two pages. If you don't like the way it's written, it won't get any better and you just won't enjoy it. If you do, then you'll be one of the people who have become fans of this book. Me? Not so much. Less is more - taking a paragraph to say what a sentence would achieve does not make the book any better. It just makes it longer. And denser.
