Helpful Score: 6


Interesting, intriguing, well-imagined, but somehow it left me wanting. The characters were little more than sketches, sometimes motives were missing for actions taken, and the author telegraphed his surprises all too often. Plot was predictable even though it was so original. I would read another try at this world, and the characters are not unredeemable, but this was more like a draft than a finished work. Worth a lazy Saturday read, but paying good money for it was a disappointment. Well, now here's a chance to try it out free! It may be a favorite for many. Just not in my bookshelf, not to stay.
