Query: Yawn

In the beginning, nothing happens, characters are lackluster and the names bordering on ridiculous. Add to that the constant perspective shifts that work for numerous other authors, end abruptly without any true resolution to the scenes. In a later scene, sometimes the action may be summed up from the previous one, sometimes not. In the second half of the book, it is more of the same. I gave up at page 316. It was like reading a dry rambling lecture that puts one to sleep so that if there is a kernel of substance, it gets missed. Sorry, but I will not pick up another book by the author. My time and money are too precious to waste.
