Reviews

[Owen O’Brien · Rating 5 out of 5]

2nd best book I’ve ever read (not a high bar.) Long, dense, challenging thriller that’s as personal as it is political. Sharp execution of the idea of a human chess match.

[Tim Drake’s Bookshelf · Rating 1 out of 5]

It’s a pretty boring book to me personally. It isn’t really up my alley. I stopped reading this book at page 37. The chapters are too long and there’s nothing exciting about it at all. Sadly, not recommended by me.

This was a long read and I skipped several chapters because I wanted to find out what happened to the Judge but couldn't bear to read the in-between. Many questions get answered at the end of the book, which I appreciate. Mr. Carter is a very wordy author.
