Masque of the Red Death Bethany Griffin Books

I'm having a difficult time with this review. Not because the book was bad or problematic, but rather because it was good. I wasn't all that excited about reading this book. It hadn't really been on my radar and it just didn't seem like the kind of book I'd fall into and love. I bought it because it was on sale, and I read it because I was waiting for other things to be published.

Why am I telling you how reluctant I was to read Masque of the Red Death? So that you don't make the same mistake I did. You need to get this book, sit down, and just read. You'll thank me for it later.

Araby is living a guilty life. Alive, but not really living. At first, I was confused as to why she was the one that got involved with everything happening in the book. She isn't the bravest or the strongest or the smartest character I've ever read. She didn't have that special something. But then I realized that was why she was involved. Because she was normal. She was in the right place at the right time and had something necessary. Her importance isn't apparent at first. But as you read, you'll discover that despite all her faults, there's a reason people need her like they do.

The love triangle. One of the things I dread the most on Young Adult novels. They usually annoy me because they become more important than everything else in the novel, instead of acting as a tool to help build the strength of the story. Not in Masque of the Red Death. Yes it's there, but it doesn't take over the story. Neither guy is completely perfect and I question both their motives. I'm not sure I trust either one, but I like that. It adds more mystery to the novel and more confusion.

Masque of the Red Death is a dark, edgy book that draws you in and won't let go. It wraps around your mind until you can't resist and then it seeps into your blood, making sure to bring you right into the story. It's a fantastic read and I can't wait for the next book.

Masque of the Red Death Bethany Griffin Books Reviews

I was a little hesitant to start Masque of the Red Death, seeing as I am a Poe fan. The beginning took me a little bit to get into. It's vague about quite a few things and lacking in descriptions, and although that doesn't change throughout the book, I think I just got used to it. However, once I figured out what was going on, I was intrigued. By the end, I was completely engrossed and couldn't put it down. Griffin took Poe's premise and created something of her own.

There are still some flaws with Masque of the Red Death that I want to point out. Like I said, the writing style keeps that vague approach all the way through the book. I feel like I'm being told only the basic details instead of shown things. There are some pretty intense action scenes towards the end, and it's easy to get confused on what's going on, because the minimum is described for the reader. It got on my nerves a bit. I would have loved more details about certain things and actions.

There is a sort-of love triangle, but it isn't unbearable in any sense. It actually becomes a little twisted and unconventional. I feel like there is a definite role reversal with the love interests.

I was surprised at how many twists this book had. Being based of the original Poe short story, I just sort of assumed I would know what was going on, and where Griffin's version would take me. That was my bad, and I won't underestimate the second installment.

As much as I like Poe's original Masque of the Red Death, most of it hasn't come into play yet. Aside from Prospero, his secluded castle, and the Red Death ravaging the city, not much else is mentioned. I assume Prospero's party will come into play in Dance of the Red Death since there was only a small line that the party is coming at the end of Griffin's version.

Anyway, I can't wait to read the second book Dance of the Red Death and see how Griffin handles the masked ball. I love the creativity she has applied to such a popular Poe short story. It could have been hit or miss, but Griffin's Masque of the Red Death is definitely a hit. I think it's able to thrill both Poe aficionados and newcomers alike.
