Reviews on Ama­zon for “The Weight Of Night” — “I’m not one who usu­ally reviews prod­ucts. I go over other reviews, and form my opin­ion based on those, but I don’t usu­ally do this myself. But with this book, I felt like I had to.  I was first inclined to think of this as a Percy Jackson-esque book, but I was quickly dis­abused of that notion. The Weight of Night stands way out in the crowd, from the char­ac­ter style (more human, with flaws, prob­lems, and noth­ing eas­ily laid out before them), to the Greek Gods them­selves (also more life­like).” — read more -

From the begin­ning this book sucks you in. The char­ac­ters are relat­able, and well formed. It has the Greek Mythol­ogy that I love so much but only find with a hand­ful of authors. What was even more nice is that this book took the Greek Myth to a new play­ing field.” — read more -

Stegall’s book can just barely be clas­si­fied as a YA novel. Unlike the some­what well-adjusted ado­les­cents pop­u­lat­ing The Percy Jack­son books, The Prog­eny found in “The Weight Of Night” are mostly flawed, vio­lent, insane or sim­ply dead. Enter into this our Alexis and her friend Keats, who must deal with mur­dered fam­ily mem­bers, socio­pathic demigods, back-stabbing humans and var­i­ous other daily tor­ments. As Alexis digs deeper into her her­itage, she finds greater con­trol over her grow­ing abil­i­ties only to face ever grow­ing hor­rors oppos­ing her.” — read more -

I really enjoyed read­ing this book, it cap­ti­vated me quickly. I was pulled into the story, each char­ac­ter was emi­nently plau­si­ble and I felt like I’ve known them for­ever. It was hard to put the book down as I could not wait to find out what was going to hap­pen next. Being an avid reader it was refresh­ing to read some­thing that was dif­fer­ent and unique. I can­not wait until the next book comes out and see where the next jour­ney will be.” — read more -

5-21-2011 (Goodreads) : Review for The Weight Of Night. — “The Weight of Night was brought to my atten­tion by the author, CL Ste­gall. I under­stand how hard an inde­pen­dently pub­lished author must work to spread the word about their pub­li­ca­tions so I decided to give the book a try. I am very happy I did. Within the pages I found a dark world that makes you won­der if you really did see some­thing mov­ing in the dark cor­ner. The char­ac­ters draw you into the story and won’t let you up for air.” — read more -
