I really tried to like this book. Reviews at Amazon are stellar. I was persistent. Because the actual writing is good, I read 275 pages of 429 before I finally gave up. It was the plot that overpowered me. I read a lot of genres; action/adventure, science fiction, fantasy, detective stories, contemporary fiction, horror and others. I've been reading Jon Land books for over 30 years and normally enjoy his style. For me, this one missed the mark. Temporal, physical, and character displacement may have worked for Cloud Atlas but it doesn't work here. The story jumps between events in the past and present, to different characters, to various locations. Some events might be concurrent - it's hard to tell. I couldn't develop any empathy with the characters - they all seemed shallow and generic. I think the genre of this novel would be a combination of action/adventure, science fiction, and fantasy. Even suspending belief and trying to view it as a fantasy did not make plot feasible. I regret the time I wasted on this one⦠Give the style 3 stars and the plot one starâ¦
