How do y’all feel about his books? I’ve never read an author that was so inconsistent. I started with Dark Matter which I thought was an exciting plot but not very well written. Then I read Run which I loved and finished in one sitting because I was so into the story. Then I read Abandon and gave up halfway through because the writing was so bad I was cringing. I don’t know what to make of him.
I think he accidentally achieves success. I read Recursion and really liked it. Felt like all the concepts made sense and factored into the story really well. The characters were on the weak side but still entertaining.
Then I read Dark Matter and I was almost insulted by how bad it was. The concepts didn’t make any sense and actively contradicted each other, and his writing of his female characters (and male characters in regard to how they treat the female characters) was legitimately gross.
I figured an author who can hit fairly solidly in one attempt and miss completely on another isn’t someone I should put effort into reading, so I’ve only read those two books and it’s probably gonna stay that way.
