I really wanted to like this book but JCO goes round and round with lengthy conversations between characters over the same information to the point of tedium. The time-frame also jumps forward and back, and forward again with dizzying speed. It was more engaging toward the end, when 'Krull' narrated, but wading through Book 1 to get to those sections was like floundering through mud. I didn't really care what happened to anyone and the resolution was just flat, as if JCO decided she finally had to end it somehow and took a quick way out.
All I can say about this book is, I'm upset that the few hours that I spent reading it, I'll never get back. OMG. This writer took the expression, "beating a dead horse" to a whole new level. I have never read a book where the same information has been repeated so many times. I got through the first 100 pages, and didn't learn anything new from the first chapter. I asked myself, "Can I do another 300 pages of this? ". Hell no. I gave it my best shot. I have no more to give. It's done. Moving on.
