I love the whole idea of inscapes and the thematic weight thereinâthe toll to be paid to travel these treacherous roads of imagination creates an emotional consequence.

Unfortunately this is very much a 300 page book dragged out to damn-near 700 pages. The pacing is all over the place, and despite the creative richness of its themes and the grueling amount of pages offered up to exploring them, Hill never manages to do anything truly interesting, exciting, or terrifying with them. And the characters are almost uniformly awful; especially Vic McQueen and Charlie Manxâtwo insufferably flat characters.
