Watchers of The Night Review by Matthew Keith
Synopsis:
“You
don’t even know where you are, do you.” A statement, not a question.
Paul Bennett doesn’t realize that his sleep disorder is actually a gift
that allows him to travel the night free of his body. That is, not until
he is approached by a member of Astralis; an organization funded by the
government that uses people with his talent to gather information for
the greater good. At Astralis, Paul finds inclusion and friendship on a
level that he’d never had the chance to experience and begins to
believe that Astralis could provide a new life for him. It isn’t long,
however, before he realizes that Astralis is an organization under siege
from within. Paul finds himself forced to either choose a side or leave
Astralis forever.
Review:
Four Stars
This
was such an interesting novel. It has a lot to it that I wasn’t
expecting, so once I got into the book ,I was hooked. The main
character, Paul can asteral project in a way, he can leave his body. How
cool is that? This is the first book I read where this was a plot line,
so I really loved the originality of this idea. But the book developed
slowly, often times causing me to lose interest in the beginning because
of the slow pace. I do think that the ideas you form about characters
are interesting, and it was nice to see my opinion change as I continued
reading the book. There are a lot of surprises and plot twists that I
wasn’t expecting. Overall, this book is well written, detailed and
insightful. It’s a pleasant read.
