Not for me

I just could not get into this book. It’s just on and on about dreams. The plot was weak and the characters just did not stand out. It was not fulfilling or even in lightning just a massive madness and a waste of my time. I will not be buying any more books from this writer

I was looking forward to this book and we’ve though I give the story a pass it was a really boring plot . I expected more . I don’t really like the various voices takes away from one good uninterrupted narration .

Very disappointed
Reviewed: 08-01-24
I was super excited to listen to this novel, but right from the start it was utterly confusing. There were too many storylines just running against each other, and I really found it hard. To stay abreast of who their enemy was. I am returning this after listening to about three chapters I cannot and will not try to keep a breast all the moving parts . Too much drama all over the place .

I have the first three books of Scott’s work . they are amazing but this is just a very hard listen. It’s so monotone that I can’t keep up with whatever is going on. I think I am going to return it. He is an amazing writer, but this nation really needs some work.

I loved the first two books but this series just drags on. There is nothing memorable about it at all. The plot is for ever evolving, too many characters to keep count and the narration is grating. Sorry but I am returning this.

In the past, I have loved some of his work . Not this one . Just an another canned plot and event upon event . It barely has a plot, it was merely barely entertaining. Sorry I felt I was just wasting my time. I think I am going to rerun this . Hope the next one is better

Reviewed: 03-12-24
I enjoyed this book however the plot just did not do it for me . The ending was random, it did not tie with the endless story that went on and on for ever . I loved the narration but not so much the book . The suspense was great the story good but the whole thing just collapsed in the end . Hours spent listening but was very disappointed .

I have purchased several
Books from Grease however this one was just too convoluted and gory . One drama after another nothing covert. If you enjoy fierce gory details and awesome action from end to end this is the book for you .
There were too many intermingled stories and characters for me to really enjoy the character development. After this listen I am taking a break from this author I need to read something with more of. Intricate plot with more meaning than kill he killed and chopped off fingers . Just not fit be .
