Customer Reviews

An absorbing story; fast paced and with excellent characters

Mister Byers has created a fascinating tale of good intentions, ambition and greed. He's added in a deck of cards that are more than pretty pasteboards and a cast of very believable, likeable players. His characters are regular people who have each contributed to the horror in which they are trapped. Their world literally goes out of control. Some players embrace the swelling darkness while others fight to redress the wrongs, seeking to restore the balance. The difference between the players is often how they choose sides and why. Their decisions are not easy nor are they very predictable. Theirs is not a world of clear cut good and evil. Each character wants to survive as much as you. Each decision and action become very important to you as well as the plot. Dark Fortune is a good read with dizzying action as well as an absorbing story.
