I just finished the first section, and it looks like I agree with most people. It's solidly written for sure, but it's so dark, and it feels really out of character for me. That doesn't mean I don't like it. I'm just struggling to wrap my head around these versions of Mulder and Scully, and battling my need to see them all shmoopy all the time. I'm going to start the second book tonight, so I'll let you know what I think after that.
