I'm sorry that you didn't find it engaging as well. I was on the verge of quitting multiple times, so I completely understand.

I agree. I am about 40% of the way through, and am losing interest. Just too much going on. Too many things that Eric has to stop and explain. 'losing focus' is a great way of saying it.
Have you started the book?

Thank you. Life too short to waste it on books not to one's taste. It is a matter of taste though, and others may find it more to their taste.hsimone wrote:I'm sorry that you didn't find it engaging as well.

You've described it well! I'm glad you're enjoying the book so far ☺littlefrog wrote:I am reading it and am about the half way point. Really like it and I have not lost interest yet. I like how the author builds the characters as they are introduced...and keeps some in mystery. I really can't wait to see where it goes next. Love the weaving of different cultures, religions, worlds, beliefs and ethics. I know I can't say it enough, I like a vampire with ethics.
