Vivian L. (samuraibunny) -
I'm not sure why I didn't particularly like this book. Perhaps it is because it is only one of two books that I have read as an ebook on the small screen (phone). It took me a while for me to finish reading this book because I would only read little snippets when I had free time in between doing something. But anyways.
I wanted to like it, I really did. It has dry humor, which is either a hit or miss for me. In this case, it was a strike. There were various aspects of the story that I was unclear of, whether that was a lack of concentration on my part or the writing I can't say. But that is the result, either way.
In terms of characters, there are a few that stuck with me, for better or worse. The eccentric Cadman, who has been around for quite a while, the ever righteous Shader, the assassin Shadrak, and the love interest, Rhiannon. The story jumps around to cover everyone (there are a few other ones, the names of which are escaping me at the moment). That is probably one of the reasons that I was so confused, it was hard to keep track of so many people. And I have to say, Shader and Shadrak are pretty similar.
In any case, this book wasn't for me, but that doesn't mean it's a bad book by any means. With all of the five star reviews, mine is the odd one out. You can only try it for yourself and see.
