People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.

- Latest Review: Voices of liberty in tribute to the American revolution by Robert Keiper
I think I fully understood the book after finished it. I had trouble at the beginning too. I credit it due to the fact that this is a series after all, so maybe I missed out on not reading previous books.Princepetr10 wrote: ↑26 Mar 2020, 06:49 At the beginning of the book , i had difficulties in understanding . The first few pages seemed heavy for me . As I struggled reading , I began to enjoy it and got the Rhythm of the book . The writer used this pattern and tools to capture the readers .

I feel the same. I haven't read the previous book either. I would say the writing is a bit dry. I don't know. It takes time to get into it.NetMassimo wrote: ↑26 Mar 2020, 07:51 Reading the beginning I wondered if I was missing something because I didn't read the first novels in this series.

Dry. That's the word. The writing at the beginning is not seasoned in a way that motivates the reader to keep on reading and connect with the story. I did not finish reading the book.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑26 Mar 2020, 13:44I feel the same. I haven't read the previous book either. I would say the writing is a bit dry. I don't know.

Sorry to hear that but I completely understand. I did have to "make" myself keep on reading. But the later on it did became better. Or I just got to used to it. Better luck with your next read.Nerea wrote: ↑27 Mar 2020, 01:31Dry. That's the word.

Agreed. I didn't feel compelled to keep reading. And I didn't feel like it picked up very much during the course of the book. I struggled through the whole thing. I guess the style just wasn't to my liking.Nerea wrote: ↑27 Mar 2020, 01:31Dry. That's the word.
