Under A Fallen Sun


Under A Fallen Sun
by John Coon

           There is a reader for every book, but it seems that I am not the reader for Under A Fallen Sun. The reason why I say this is that from the very beginning, the idea of an energy barrier was much too similar with the one met in Under the Dome (TV series), for my taste.
On the other hand, despite the fast pace that was meant to keep the reader engaged, there was not so much awaiting me beyond the well-constructed suspense. The long-promised escaping plans and revenge actions turned into the fast, unexpected and superficial deaths of so many characters.
            There were also moments when the characters seemed to be similar to lifeless puppets that mechanically moved on a stage. Unfortunately, while reading John Coon’s book I felt more like being part of a disengaged audience instead of resonating with the characters or with their feelings.
