Review: tornados make more sense; earthquakes more fun

Oh how I wanted to love this book. This book had so much potential - a wild world and characters with amazing potential to boot. Reading it was like sitting through a hurricane, quickly followed by a few tornados...and that is not meant to be good. Maybe there was an earthquake too? I think sitting through a hurricane, some tornados and an earthquake would have made more sense and been easier to follow than the storyline at times.I found that the style of writing changed part way through the book, as with the plot and the integrity of the characters. Three quarters or more in, new characters were introduced. One. After. The. Other. Some were introduced and then I have no idea where they went - poof, forgotten from the scene or dismissed? I had difficulty in the latter part of the book following along - especially with the history bubbles brought in to allow them to rewatch the past. Agh! So much potential.Rating: 1 for effort and a cool ideaRecommend: no, not unless some serious story editing and rewrites occurFollow on books in series: how I wish, but I don't think my brain can handle it. So No.
