The Octunnumi

 

The Octunnumi Fosbit Files Prologue by Trevor Alan Foris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Foris gets lost in his own imagination so much that the reader is so overwhelmed by all the characters and Insominids (worlds) that they start not caring too much about it. There is some quick banter, tried and trite stock characters, and an almost developed plot line--(I really did care where the missing children and Nate were--until I didn't). The described worlds really are very imaginative and if the characters stayed in any of them long enough to really experience them, it could be a very stimulating and refreshing read. As it is, the reader is just too inundated to look around and take in the scenery. My niece bought the book because of the amazing marketing--the publicity, book design and packaging is really well-thought out and creates excitement--it even comes with a book mark. Hopefully, the rest of the series settles down a bit and concentrates more on less.
