Spontaneous by Joe Harris, Brett Weldele

Thanks Netgallery for an advance copy to review.

Sadly though this one didn't work for me. The idea is pretty neat. People exploring into a pile of ashes is always intriguing. We want to know why though. And with the Stephen King like hook I was down to learn. However, the dialogue and way people talked felt like nobody was actually talking to each other, just making statements. It didn't flow naturally at all. On top of that while the art is simple and nice to look at, it can be confusing the structure of it following the story beat and I felt maybe it could have been just the overall direction of the book. The idea is great, but the actual story isn't nearly as interesting once reading sadly.

A 2 out of 5.
