I like the premise of this book, and it seems like it would be compelling. Too bad about the story structure not resolving very well. That can be frustrating.

A space adventure in the distant future sounds promising. Three plot lines might be a bit complicated but could come together to create an interesting series. Hopefully that is the case. Thanks for the review!

It's always a pity when a great idea falls apart at the seams. I hope the author goes back to the drawing board, armed with your insightful feedback. :wink: Great review!

Wolf sounds like an intriguing character, but the lizard people plotline sounds forgettable. The barely connected plotlines plus the poor editing are such a frustrating combination that I probably won't give this a try. Thanks! :tiphat:

It seems the author has a lot to do in furnishing his book to bring out the best storyline to attract readers. I loved your keenness in identifying the shortcomings in the book. Even though this genre isn't my cup of coffee I would recommend it to anyone who loves science fiction genres. Great review

:tiphat: Everything is nice and clear. Ambitious intentions left hanging. Perhaps the plan was to leave resolution for the next sequel, as insurance that readers would read the next one too. I was convinced by the reviewer to give it a miss. I note the intertwingling plots, though, and I would like to read one successful achievement of such.
Great review!

I found the sample intriguing and would have liked to go on reading. Thanks for the review which gives me a fuller picture than just the sample. Forewarned is forearmed.

The book sounds interesting except for the editing flows. What a creative way to have a story with various plotlines

I am not a fan of sci-fi novels, so I will pass on this one. It is a pity this book containing three plotlines disappointed you! Plus, it was not well edited. However, the book has great Amazon ratings, so fans of the genre should check it out! Thank you for the review! :tiphat:

I don´t like science fiction books, so I´ll pass on this one. But great review, it was really clear and specific. I don´t like that the book leaves you without a sense of fulfillment or that the plots don´t converge.

It looks like the author has put a lot of work into the book. Your review is beautifully written too. I do need a certain sense of resolution from each book I need so I don't know if I'll like this one.

There's a lot of interesting scenes in this book I guess. How did the lizard race people survive? Thanks for the informative review
