Strangely though, I think if Van Dorn had told this story over 200 pages I would have liked it much more! I dont think the Psuedoincest would have ever worked but I would have atleast understood the characters a bit more especially the older MC. I just didnt like how younger MC never caught a break from older MC. He's almost totally irresponsible with the younger MC emotionally and he never yields on anything except when he does and then he overcomes everything immediately. And the backstory itself was just.Older MC admits that he didnt blame Younger MC for what happened to him, but punishes him for it. I think that you cant develop a taboo love that efficiently in so small a space if at all. My issue is that the Psuedoincest didnt work. For the quality of editing and prose alone - 5 stars.

Yet here we are led to believe that she was the equivalent of a "B.C. Cleopatra was supposed to be hightly intelligent, speaking 12 languages, and one of the great female rulers.

I adored The Graveyard Book same as with Coraline and The Sleeper and the Spindle so I decided that another Neil Gaiman will definitely be a good decision especially for someone who’s still fighting that dreadful reading slump. I have had good experience with Neil Gaiman so far. Nameless, no surprise, is heavily influenced by Lovecraft. Nameless appears to be his first creator-owned work in a while, near as I can tell, so let’s see what he does with it. And anyone who can connive the average superhero dweeb into enjoying surreal and creepy stuff deserves recognition. That being said, he’s leveraged his significant influence to bring “weird” into the realm of mainstream comics, specifically with his recent Multiversity work for DC, as well as his Batman comics. But I haven’t read any of what is considered his iconic work so maybe I am not the best person to be making comparisons but the fact is that what I have read just isn’t that striking.
