This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.There are very few books that I could not finish. Unfortunately this was one of them. I think one of the reasons it was difficult to get into was because it relied heavily on a knowledge of some previous books where characters were obviously introduced. Not having read any, I struggled to follow who was who, or what was what, and ended up having to re-read things a number of times, which put me off. I also found that it didn't really keep to a single plot, and sometimes jumped randomly from one to another, leaving the reader wondering what the author was actually trying to achieve.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.This is one of the few books i really could not bring myself to finish. I think it has a fairly decent plot and storyline behind it but i just could not put the time and effort into trying to read it. I cannot really pin point it other than to say it is just not well written. It jumped from one plot to another, once scene to another and was very disjointed and not easy to read. I was disappointed as this was the first book i have won through LIbraryThing. Never mind better luck next time
