Review: Wow! What a waste of ideas!

This series has had incredible potential but what a waste of fabulous ideas.  This book in particular is so busy with people, events, and flash backs that interrupt the flow of the story that the beauty of both plot and characters disappears.  What pattern do you want? Plaid, tartan, paisley, spots, pick one and run with it instead of this bubble and squeak tale.  Bubble and squeak is made from leftovers, is tasty  but in the end just mashed potatoes and pumpkin.  When you put them together the taste is good but the colour of both vegetables distorted and the unique lost.  There is something there in the novel but it is overpowered by the intricate jumps from one thing to the other and mashing together.The irony is I want to know what happens next but I genuinely don't want to pay for it.
