This four book series was quite an interesting concept and was interesting. I found it hard to follow because whoever was speaking in the first person in any particular chapter was only referred to once, in the chapter title. I kept having to refer back to that chapter heading. There were occasional word use errors, misspellings, and punctuation errors.
This book was based on an unusual idea that interested me. Howeve I found it difficult to follow the characters but persevered, skipped some pages, and pressed on to the end. Overall it was a good idea that overcame my reading endurance.
I felt it was a very engaging book. Totally ludicrous plot and premise. Too much violence for me. So I often skipped over those bits. An easy and generally enjoyable read.
Really loved the premise of this book and the story unfolded nicely across the 3 books in the series. A very intriguing idea and some great characters, with the story told by many different characters in turn. Ending was a little too abrupt and neat but still very enjoyable.
