Thanks! What don't you like about Risto Isomäki? This is the first I've heard of them.
Oh, well, it's been a while, but... While Risto's ideas tend to be interesting enough, as a writer and a storyteller I think he lacks finesse. Especially his characters and their interactions come off as flat and formulaic. Romance feels tacked on and clumsy and he'd be better off focusing on other areas. Still, I can't say it's all bad. I don't want to drive anyone away from giving his work a chance.
