I was asked to review this book on behalf of the author. I was given an ePub version in exchange for an honest review. Thank you.
Firstly, this book is way underhyped. It’s a cleverly and brilliantly written novel.
The plot is full of amazing twists and turns. I never knew what was about to happen, and that made for a great read full of suspense and expectation.
The characters are very well written. I love the character building for the main character, Alexander. He is very well explained and I found I could see inside his head very easily and understand him, without veering from the main story.
The writing flows really well from chapter to chapter. Most chapters ended on some sort of cliffhanger, which I really liked. It worked, and made me want to read on.
Something I liked…has to be the way this book launches right into the story, but manages to give us a clear impression of the main character at the same time. I actually found this really impressive, as I have been disappointed with books that take too long or too quick to get into the actual story. I also really enjoying the ending. It really wasn’t what I expected, but it really fits the story.
Something I disliked…not much, really. The only thing I can really say is I found this book hard to read with a distraction. You do have to really focus on what’s happening, so for some people certain parts may be confusing if you don’t have your full attention on the novel.
My rating is…
