sleepydahlias 's review for:

The Dark Maestro by Brendan Slocumb
3.0

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I haven't read any of Slocumb's other works but I'm more than willing to after reading this. I really like Slocumb's writing style and the idea of blending classical music and superheroes into a thriller was super unique. The story does require a complete suspension of belief and honestly, I didn't enjoy the superhero parts as much as I had hoped to. The author's note does a lot of lifting for my understanding of the narrative shift at the end, and I wish I had loved this more because of that understanding.
