Review:
So, this was quite the weird experience to read because I was really intrigued by the world and the people in it, but I've also not been so confused in a very long time.
The blurb of this book doesn't explain a whole lot to you, so when you start reading this, you're thrust into a world where it's hard to make sense of anything. The book also doesn't go to any lengths to explain any of it to you as you go along. It took me a good while to figure out who everybody was, and then when time and reality starts slipping... I was totally lost, I'm not going to lie. I had to resort to Wikipedia to figure out what was going on, which is something I do every now and then, but this time I desperately needed it.
By the end of the book though, all of it does fall into place and you understand what has been going on, but I almost feel like I need to read this whole thing again to really get the full picture. I'm sure I'd enjoy it a lot more the second time around.
So I'm left with slightly mixed feelings about this. I liked the story and the characters, but I feel like I was reading this with a foggy mind. It was frustrating to read while I was in it, but now that I'm out of it, I'm pretty sure I liked it overall. Like I said, I'll probably like it more if I reread it.
