I have read this book at least three times. Never gets old. I need to check out more by Molinar for sure. Get this book you won't regret it.

March 21, 2015Didn't get far enough in to give this one a star rating.
The author's writing style is just not something I feel like I can plow through. This may be a great book, but every sentence feels bogged down by its own adjectives and verb choices. Someone else may love this, so I'll give an example of what I don't like so you can decide for yourself.
This isn't much of a spoiler (happens in chapter one) but I'll still hide it:
A few sentences like that can add both interest and characterizations to the reading, but when every description of every action, item, or person is that heavy, it just irritates me. There is also a weird push-pull here between too much description (or odd word choices) and outright cliche.
This is very much a case where the writing of the prologue (in sample) matches the tone of the actual book. If you like that, you will probably enjoy the rest.
YMMV

This book started out good, I like the descriptions the author makes for the characters and scenery. However, the book tends to get dull and really goes nowhere. Reading it I was hoping something would happen, but nothing really does happen and things are just left in the air. I realize there are more books to this series, but I won't be reading them.

fast moving
The characters are well written and you can see them in your mind while reading. The descriptions of the city are wonderful.

I gave this book four stars because the story line is good. It's too descriptive but at the same time there isn't enough background information.

Don't read
The ending just drops off forcing to read the next book if you want to know what happens....but I don't really care anymore. It was poorly written and a waste of time.

Very Confusing
Do not even know what I just read. This is the kind of book where you can not tell if the first page is the or vice versa.
