The Fearing Book 3

The Fearing: Air and Dust by John F.D. Taff

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Book 3 of The Epic Serial Novel by John F.D. Taff is here, and it should not come as a surprise that it’s another excellent piece of work.

If you’re reading this review, I can only assume that you’ve read the first two books, or maybe you’ve been reading each review to see if the whole thing comes together. Book 3 continues our journey through the fear ridden apocalypse. One might think that having the bigger fears out of the way, the smaller fears might be more manageable. One would be sadly mistaken, as Taff shows us these individual fears can do some really damage. With WMD attacks and natural disasters out of the way, the road ahead is paved with the blood shed by ferocious creatures, beasts, and crazies. In addition to this, Taff takes his time to maneuver the key players towards what seems like will be an epic final showdown. If you’ve read the previous two books, the third is written just as wonderfully, Taff has a way with words that keeps the pages flowing.

With book 3, Taff keeps the fear level ratcheted up to high, while simultaneously setting up for a finale that promises to be epic. Please give me book 4 yesterday.

5/5
