True Page-Turner submitted by ryan.lorenz on June 28, 2023, 7:25pm Interesting, creative plotline, I really enjoyed this book! A little hard to understand at first, but once I got into it, I was INTO IT. Excellent book!
A bit disappointing submitted by alotofaxolotl on August 28, 2023, 10:32pm I was quite interested in the premise but the author jumped from viewpoints so much that it was hard to follow. And the characters did not tie into each other necessarily. I am still wondering about why some were included. It may have worked better as a collection of short stories about a certain world. I think this book really could have used more editing and polishing to make it a better reading experience. The ending also was a bit abrupt and the resolution felt rushed and unsatisfying.
