Dark, yes, but depressing? No. I think that is due to Millar’s writing style. No melodrama and a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor.

One of the reasons I don’t read more genre fiction is because so many writers rely on a florid style to express emotion. Sort of the literary equivalent of over-acting. This is particularly widespread in fantasy and romantic suspense,* which is too bad because the stories themselves are often great. Anyway, Millar’s style works much better for me.

* Not that so-called “literary” fiction is necessarily any better. Some day I will do a blog post called I Hate Pretentious Writing.

Yeowl, I just read the Publisher’s Weekly review of LWG, and it seems like one frell of a depressing read. Interesting, but DARK.

I’ll check it out anyway. I’ve been way too happy lately.
