Review: Too many typos, somewhat sophomoric, and the flashback thing was really annnoying, so, I abandoned ship.

A 2.5 or perhaps even a 2.25.I usually look for interesting new books that have quite a few good reviews as an indicator of quality, and I really wanted to like this first volume in what seemed to be a promising trilogy. But, the typos were a clue that the writing/editing needed some work.  Then, there was the somewhat stilted and sophomoric writing style and plot. But it was the use of extremely annoying flashbacks, back and forth, chapter by chapter--it was today, it was five years ago, it was today again, then it was four years ago,etc. as a storytelling technique that was the final nail in the coffin, and I abandoned this book.
