It doesn’t help that the main characters are fairly weak. It’s not so much a story with a message as it is a message with a story half-heartedly built around it. The writers are clearly trying to make a point about the dangers of blind faith, which is admirable, but it’s extremely ham-fisted and unsubtle. Seems like it could be an interesting story, but… well, it really isn’t. This investigation is complicated by a budding attraction between Nilanjana and Darryl Ramirez, one of of the Congregation’s most devout members. It Devours follows one of Carlos’ scientists, Nilanjana Sikdar, as she investigates strange occurrences that may be connected to the Joyous Congregation of the Smiling God. I won’t lie: As much as I love Night Vale, I found this book pretty disappointing. I’ve got a pair of book reviews for you today.
