A bit confusing at times

I decided to try a sample, and, although a bit slow at first, it hooked me, so I went ahead and purchased it....then it got somewhat confusing, but I pushed through and glad I did, as it really picked up and had me cheering! I especially liked when John Hunt put things into perspective from his side! I was actually cheering out loud...So, give it a read.

I thought for most of the book it jumped to much from one part to the other snd at times it was a bit hard to follow

I enjoyed the story and characters.  However, at times there were so many different characters I couldn't follow along with exactly who they were.  Just got a bit confusing.
At times the phrases and descriptions seemed like something heard in the back of the school yard... adolescent.
I still enjoyed the story and had to keep reading to find out what happened next.  It would be better if there was more depth to the characters and writing.

This was not an easy read, and in the early part of the book found myself lost (not in a good way)  in the story.  It is written, at times, in stream of consciousness, which I generally like, but it was rather confusing since I was unaware of the premise of the book and have not seen the Hulu series adapted from this book.  To me, this is a bit "science-fictiony" when I thought I would be reading a more historical novel (hence my review title).

I suspect that this tale, with it's numerous and confusing half-truths, bent truths, changing stories and lies, is a lot more true to most police investigations than the straightforward stuff on today's crime shows.  But it does make for a confusing read.  I'd recommend it for a time when you have the opportunity to flip back through pages and figure out exactly who said what and when.

I did enjoy the book however it was difficult to follow at times with different time frames within the storyline.

I think this is a good book but yet, a little confusing and hard to understand.  I sort of understood it but I didn't for the most part.  But I think this would have been a grrrreat book only if I had understood it  better.

There was too much detail that I thought made to story confusing.

Interesting way to tell the story but can be a little confusing until the main characters and dates are understood.

I found the plot a bit confusing. Also, there were too many characters
to try and figure out.  It was slow moving at times.

I really liked the book, however it was confusing at times. I read it for a book club and we all had different interpretations of the ending. I thought it was well written and held my interest.

A litte confusing sometimes because the story is told from different perspectives and very often the time jumps back and forth.
I also found the ending a little unbelievable.

"Silver Knight" is a book I enjoyed reading, but that left me confused at times.

First, I must say that I liked the overall plot. It seemed intriguing at first--'a girl realizing that the priest in a certain YouTube video is actually a man she met in a former life--and it kept on being so. What could have been easily solved, and apparently is, also raises more questions and issues. Is the problem addressed in the video solved at the end of the book? Not so much, and it clearly points at a sequel and at a more complex story. I'm sure I'm not the only one who found some elements pretty fishy.

The characters I found appealing. Diana, among others, struck me as a strong enough persona, thanks to her decisions and actions in the present timeline, as well as to what was shown of her in her past lives, that nicely echo elements from the main plotline. Besides, I've always had a sweet spot for different readings of historical events (same with historical characters), and the stories the author conveyed here were interesting: the retelling of Helen's fate, Alexander's real identity (I didn't need much to guess it, but it was still nice to read about), what happened in Pompeii... Although some might say those were contrived, I nevertheless thought them told originally enough.

However, those past lives and events were also what left me confused: I'd say there were just a little too many of them, all the more so that they were interspersed with other characters' points of view. While those were interesting, they contributed to making the main plot difficult to follow at times, as well as having it appear a little weak (in that if you remove the parts about the past lives, there isn't that much left, come to think of it). I understand that the 'past lives aspect' is an important part of the novel's pitch, and that it's important to have it in; it just seems to me that it was too much to chew on all at once, and that some of it might have been better kept off until the second installment.

That said, it was a good story, and I will probably read the sequel.

Confusing at first, but good story & writing.

I enjoyed the book for the most part, but the constantly shifting storyline was a little confusing at times, and the characters personas seemed a little unrealistic at first. I get that they were teenagers, but they went from acting like adults one second to acting like young children the next. The world-building could've used a little more work, and the abilities of the characters seemed a little off to me. It was a good, quicker read, but I hope the author puts a little more into world-building and how abilities work in the next novels.
