I am not a fan of books where the author falls short in developing the characters and their world adequately. Thanks for the review.

I find this type of inconsistency off-putting, but I enjoyed your candid review.There is a particularly disturbing and abusive relationship portrayed here which I found difficult to digest since the victim had acted quite bravely throughout the book. Hence, the victim’s meek endurance of this torture baffled me. Besides, so many questions remained unanswered which made the dénouement hard to accept. It has a satisfying end but not all the loose ends are tied up.

Yes, the plot inconsistencies did detract from the reading experience.

I have always wondered about this, but I would conclude the reason must be tucked in there somewhere. Thanks for shedding some light on there being no light on this! I agree with the arguments you set forth in your review. Great review!I could not fathom what circumstances prompted banishment of weak and unwanted people to an asylum. Wasn’t there any government to prevent all of this? If no, why? Had anarchy set in? Nothing concrete was ever mentioned throughout the book.

Yes, violence and sexual innuendo need to be taken into account but I can deal with them. What I dislike is an inconsistent plot.

Thanks for stopping by!Hiruni Bhagya 81 wrote: ↑04 Oct 2018, 04:17 This book seems to contain a novel idea, but not well-developed. I like that the author has created a fantasy world of her own. It would have been better if she provided more details regarding the questions arising in the minds of readers. Story doesn't seem to be well planned. I don't think I'd enjoy this book.
