This is probably one of those instances where READING the story would have been preferable to LISTENING to it. The chapters alternate between perspectives of 2 characters, both female, and the narrator has difficulty creating a distinctive difference between the two voices.

It took about 20 chapters before I could discern the slight vocal patterns apart for Jidane and Larsa. At points in the story whee there is a great deal of dialogue between these characters it can become confusing as to who says and believes what.

The story itself is alright, but a little predictable and the threat never seems to build up to anything worrisome. Some good characterizations and some of the secondary characters are quite appealing but the bulk of the story felt cumbersome rather than engaging.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
