Limbus, Inc. de Jonathan Maberry

I really liked this eclectic little group of short stories. Nice theme across them and I'll definitely be getting the second one!

Limbus, Inc. de Jonathan Maberry

Interesting experiment. Various authors with various characters all tied together through the titular Limbus, Inc.

Limbus, Inc. is both the good guy and the bad guy in a lot of these stories, which is also a fun take. Leaves the reader guessing.

Unfortunately, most of the stories are fairly run of the mill. There's a couple that I quite liked, but there were also a couple that really stretched credibility. But hey, a multi-author collection is always going to have higher highs and lower lows.

Overall, the standout was the one that was held until the very end. Maberry's easy narrative voice, and the addition of one of his known characters, Sam Hunter, makes it more fun. The fact that it kind of went to a similar place as one of the other stories didn't bother me, as it was the superior one of the two.

I've got the next two in the series, so it'll be interesting where Limbus, Inc. takes me next.… (més)

Limbus, Inc. de Jonathan Maberry

I want to like it more than I did. Interesting premise and I love the shared world aspect. I'll continue the series but it's not working as well for me as it seems to for others.

Limbus, Inc. de Jonathan Maberry

This was, for me, mostly a big, fat miss. While I think the overall concept isn't a bad one, I would only agree that this is a "shared world" in the loosest of ways. Basically, people get hired for jobs. Period.

I found most of the stories pedestrian at best, and downright stupid at worst. The only one that was slightly engaging, and written with any style was the closing story by Maberry himself, and even that one had problems, but Maberry's a good enough writer to get me to see past them. Getting another Sam Hunter story was almost worth the price of admission. Almost.

The others? Not so much.

I won't be bothering with books two and three.… (més)
