This is proving to be a difficult read. The story itself is good, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Not to mention a protagonist that makes all the wrong decisions and is so frustrating it's a struggle to make oneself read through her dialogue and thoughts. Maybe if she wasn't written to be so annoying/haughty/self-serving it wouldn't seem so laborious to read about her.

So far, 5 stars. I am enraptured!

Hallelujah! I think where I left off before was something of a tar pit. It felt monotonous as if it was ramming home the pain of Jon's betrayal, and it did. As soon as a kraken came into the picture, things picked up and the story felt like it was finally moving somewhere again. As if I was waiting for a delayed bus and it finally arrived, albeit late. Things look more promising now!

(60%, chapter 44), I am peeved. So far, Jon is just floating between women and Rielle with Brennan. It has the feel of a story being deliberately dragged out for the sake of length alone, filling the space with calamity and the unwanted musings of this Drina. So many spanners being thrown in the works with no sign of a qualified plumber. I am having to force myself to keep reading in the hope it improves. 3/5
