review:
A lot of the reviews say if you can make it through the first 100-200 pages of exposition, then the story is great. But there just isn’t enough time in this world to wade through a novel’s worth of setup, and somebody should’ve told him so. I’ve tried twice now, and this needs to go back to the library at some point. So I’m declaring defeat. Maybe when I am a very old woman with nothing better to do I’ll give it one last try, but probably not before then!
