I tried to read this book a long time ago, got just past the first chapter, looked up reviews, and returned my kindle book. The writing style is very distinct and not everyone’s cup of tea. It certainly wasn’t mine! I thought it was ridiculous, then I read the one star reviews agreeing with me and figured they must have read on farther and it doesn’t improve.

I told some book friends of mine that loved it that I tried to read it and couldn’t and they suggested listening to the Audiobook.

Listen, friends... the writing style is a bit poetic, and only the best poetry is meant to be read aloud, right? Reading Shakespeare never gives you the thrill that hearing or seeing it performed does.

That’s how this book is. I just finished the audio book and let me just say, it was WONDERFUL. So good. Well crafted and spoken aloud the writing style is amazing. The story you can tell was written with the intention of having two more books, beginning, middle, and end. Those two books are now out and I’m so glad that I’m not going to have to wait for them!!!

If you don’t like this book, try the audio. Good advice from some good book friends that I now pass on to you.
