Review: Intriguingly perplexing
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 3, 2013
I must admit that while reading the prologue I spent the entire time wondering what was happening, and wondered once or twice how it was to tie back into the novel proper. I found that there was almost too much history leading us through the novel. It leads to having too much going on to follow easily. I appreciate how the storylines do eventually tie together, showing the interconnectedness of everything. The possibilities behind the political intrigue and corruption in this novel are simply astounding, shocking, and rather frightening.The characters in this novel were quite unique. Some were extremely well developed, while others were ghosts. Based on the subject matter at hand, it wasn't a bad thing but I would have appreciated a bit more detail on some of the recurring characters.Overall this novel was interesting but hard to follow. The novel itself was well put together, edited and presented while the writing style was somewhat harsh and forced. It was a very thought provoking novel but at the same time was difficult to immerse myself fully into.Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author/publisher/blog tour company in exchange for an honest review.
