When I first opened this book, I noticed the map (which was pretty cool) and the three-page character glossary. Even with the help of the glossary, which I consulted often, I still struggled to understand who was who, who married whom, and which children belonged to each person.
Secondly, I found the writing of this novel bland. It presented everything in a very long-winded manner and couldn't catch my attention. I often had to go back and reread because I didn't catch what was being said.
On top of all that, this book also character-hopped every few paragraphs, switching stories and issues being discussed. It was difficult to keep up with because the characters were not given the chance to come alive on the page.
This book was not for me but I still encourage you to give it a try.
