A little too complicated . . .

The story was good. But, I got lost in all the mythological references.  It made things way too complicated and difficult to follow.

A bit more simplistic and complicated at the same time and less patterns than I would of liked.

It is just too complex. There are so many unpronouncable names, religious schisms, geographical areas, seas, islands and important famlies. There are historical incidents that bear on all the above. To really grasp what is going on you would need maps and you would need to treat the book like you would treat a text on Asian history if you signed up for a 5 semester hour class. I have everything Mr. Cook has ever published and have read the "Empire of the East / October's Baby" series 5 or six times.  I like complexity, but this was too much.  I plan to get the next book, but I am hoping for more story and fewer names.

..but worth the effort. Very complicated multi story line can be confusing, but it will start to make sense halfway through.

The book was easy reading, but finding what you need when you need it, that is the issue.  So Much and so many ways to find what one needs, it is just a bit overwhelming.

Too many names and details together, not easy to understand to a point that confuse you big time; in my humble opinion .

These are lovely quilts and Emily Cier definitely has an eye for color.  Many of the quilts feature lovely quilting by Angela Waters, so this does qualify as eye candy,  But the book has 5 projects, which seems a bit light for the price.  But my biggest issue is that the directions seem much more complicated than they need to be; the quilts are complex, but I think the instructions could be written more clearly.  These are not beginning projects and would probably be frustrating for someone who is learning to quilt.  An experienced quilter would do fine and could follow the instructions, but for an intermediate quilter like myself it seemed more complicated than it ought to be.

The product is not very easy to use. I'm sure it's great once you figure it out, but didn't have the patience yet.

Works fine, but I ended up replacing this with a simpler one without all the holes and moving top. This turned out to be unnecessarily complicated.

But many of the recipes are more complicated than my simple needs require.  I like simplicity, not 24 steps to a great recipe - but that's my personal preference.  I take the recipes from this book and simplify them, and in that sense, this is a great cookbook.

A bit confusing to program and get used to reading.

I have spent a couple hours trying to figure this out. So I gave to my kids and 4 grand kids to do and they couldn't figure it out. Perhaps if they had given an example to go by so you would understand the clues may have helped.

I was a little disappointed in the story.  It was a little too complicated with too many characters and too much fill.

Be prepared to add something to your to do list every day... this was a great idea, but too complicated to keep up with for our little one.

Not so easy that my dad could use it. When it works it is fine. But way too complicated for the average user. That being said it does work but takes some setup.

I'm not a sci-fi reader, so my review might be skewed.

The plot line was a bit too much--too convoluted. Too many things happen at once. Two normal people, who have never met, are brought together as brother and sister. They can change back from normal folks to demons, then angels, then everything rolled into one.
The ending bothered me because, well, there wasn't one. They got through this challenge, but we're led to believe that all that conflict, kidnappings, murders and mayhems (not to mention bombs going off) was just the beginning. I don't need a happy ending (although I prefer one) but I do want a resolution.

Writing style:  Personally, I think it could have been more of a show me the story, instead of so much. This could have been the catalyst I needed to more understanding of the plot line. The formatting was rough. Paragraphs went on forever without a break. That might not have been entirely the author's fault.  (I'm getting used to Kindle formatting.) I think a smoother narrative would have been the order of the day.

I found enough interest in the story, though, to give it a three star rating. I might have to try another one of the author's works to better judge.
