This was a really original and really detailed story, with an incredible cast of characters and a brilliantly contrived world. Sutton did a fantastic job creating Under, the world that a group of the Dead have found themselves in after a mysterious fall from their graves. The secrets are thick on the ground, and the way things unfold is masterful, with Key – the main protagonist and heroine – slowly unlocking her memories and figuring out what happened and, more importantly, why.
This is a dark and Gothic tale that unfolds beautifully. The revelations are teased out slowly, but there is enough mystery surrounding them to keep you wholly engaged and thoroughly engrossed in the tale. I was hooked from the opening lines, and will definitely be on the lookout for more from Sutton.
