Stjep reviewed Hellboy by Tom Piccirilli
Review of 'Hellboy' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
As an avid fan of everything Hellboy and Mignola in general, I had previously read some of the HB novels and, for the most part, really liked them.
Emerald Hell on the other hand, at least to me, was dishearteningly incoherent. The characters are one-dimensional and even the ones you‘re supposed to care and root for, feel bland and purposeless.
Moreover the pacing of the story feels random and unconsidered. A lot of story-hooks are thrown in that end up leading nowhere or remaining entirely unresolved.
Though I really liked the idea for the setting, almost everything else about this story was regrettably disappointing.
