With 'Asylum', I felt all along there was a misalignment between Ms Carey's abilities and the breadth and depth of the premise. That is, their talent matches the task they've set out to accomplish.
When a great storyteller tells a great tale, you get the sense that they have a commanding overview of it all. Which, as harsh a critic as I may seem, leaves me pretty sad. So I guess I'm having to admit at this point that what I've been hoping from Ms Carey in terms of her writing potential bearing the sort of fruit that I've felt it should, just ain't gonna happen. It's also the third one that has left me exasperated, because once again, she was blessed with a fabulous premise.and once again, the result was less than 'fabulous'. This is Lisa Carey's third novel, and the third one in a row I've now read.
