's review

it was ok
Read 2 times. Last read January 25, 2022 to January 28, 2022.

This book started off interesting but by the end it seemed convoluted, I've heard good things about this book over the years but the writing style just isn’t for me.

I found the story difficult to follow because it jumps around a lot.

There was potential for world building but I could never see it in my mind's eye, due to the poor writing which lacked details.

The storyline could have been cool, but the author just complicates it.

Disappointing.

66.04% "This has been a complex read, it's easy to get lost and there's been a few times I've had to re-read a paragraph because I don't understand what's going on.

It has that strange Philip K. Dick feel around it.

Review to come."

His writing style just left me confused to what was going most of the time. 😏
