The Drowned
The Drowned: A Tale of Mystery and Horror | Jim Di Bartolo, Laini Taylor-Di Bartolo
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Paris, 1800. Theophile has been moldering in an asylum for five years with no clear memory of how he came to be there. He wavers in and out of madness until the day that unseen forces compel him to escape and make his way back home to the haunted Breton coast. As he follows the tatters of memory back to the ungodly events of his childhood, striving to wring sense out of madness, he is pursued in turn by furious crows, drowned witches, a loved one long believed dead, a secret cabal of priests and a damaged orphan. Each carries pieces of a secret that emerges into two distinct but interwining tales of supernatural vengeance. As the ravages of Theophile's buried past catch up with him at last, a battle for power begins, and the stakes are no less than the fate of the lost souls in hell.

I enjoyed the plot: witches and the devil collecting souls. But there was a lack of information and sometimes it felt like one panel jumped to the next with a missing part. And it felt rushed. I‘d like to know what happens but I don‘t think any stories were written after this one.
