I found a copy of this book in a local used bookstore and I was drawn in by the cover art. Big mistake! The only reason I finished it was because I have a hard time leaving a book on my shelf half-read. It lacks character development, a coherent plot, and detail in general.
The main characters are rarely...

An intriguing but wildly inconsistent book.
