3. DEVIL'S PASS, Setting

SETTING

Setting in this book is okay. For the first half of the book, not too much is put into it; it's not until Webb sets of on his hike detail in the descriptions goes up a fair bit to describe the surrounding forest and scenery, even then its not too much detail other than occasional moment. A nice thing is how the setting wasn't changing over and over, faster then you can keep up with.

Example of not-so-nice detail in the book:
     "...the walls were green..."

Example of quite-nice detail in the book:
     "...plains were vast and barren, amazing in a sad and desolate way..."

In summary, setting was pretty nicely put and described, but more detail should have been added to all descriptions to allow for a more complete picture to visualize. Nice, but could improve.
