So, remember awhile back when I read this book called The Oversight and was really into it and couldn't wait for the sequel and the awesome it would surely deliver? Well Paradox has arrived and it delivered in spades (a phrase that has never made sense to me because okay, now I have a lot of spades? but I'm using nonetheless). Reviewing sequels is tricky because it's hard to find new ground to cover without spoiling book one (which, fear not, I will avoid). Many of the things I loved so much about The Oversight are still true. Creepy, ominous atmosphere? Still true and then some. I remember book one being tense and creepy but The Paradox takes it a step further and throws some gruesome horror in the mix. Also present is the previously praised eloquent writing and complicated, slowly unfolding plot. It had been a long time since I'd read The Oversight and it took me a moment to get up to speed but I think it says a lot with how subtly and thoroughly Charlie Fletcher worked in details
